Method

  1. Sift the flour into a bowl with a pinch of salt and make a well in the centre. Drop in the egg yolks and the oil. Mix to a smooth batter with the milk and beat well. Cover and stand in a cool place for 30 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, slice the onions into rings about 1cm wide. Put the groundnut oil in a pan no more than 1/ 3 full and heat to 190C. Whisk the egg white until stiff and fold into the batter. Then dip the onion rings into the batter in batches and fry until golden brown - this should take 3-4 minutes. Serve immediately.

    Absolutely brilliant!!! I've made these with red onions too and they're lovely, a bit sweeter too!!! I did these in a frying pan with less oil than is reccommended and they still tasted lovely, and no wasted oil afterwards.

    I fried them in a pan too (thankyou Dora). Batter is so light and tasty. Recipe made loads, might half it next time. Have been dipping them In 'May Berry's Christmas Chutney'. Yum!

    I added herbs to batter to make the taste more interesting - you could try chilli or red pepper, works great :)

    Susieg - Mine also went soggy - wondering if the oil was hot enough. Did use quite a bit of oil (about inch in a saucepan). Will use small amount next time (pretty sure it was the heat).

    I just made these for me & my boyfriend *belches* - I only used a 1/3 of the batter so far - we'll have more later & more tomorrow. I added loads of jerk seasoning to the batter though - the oil does need to be very hot - so I got loads of crunchy crispy rings - lovely. Thanks for the great reciepe! =o)

    Thin slice a good potato and fry in the same batter for tattie fritters. You can par boil the potatoes first if they are too crunchy.

    Made these with the first red onion off our allotment - lovely! Based on previous comments, I halved the quantities and had plenty of batter. I also shallow fried them in some olive oil, which worked well. They could do with a little more seasoning, so I added some freshly ground pepper. Will def be making these again.
