Onion Rings!!!!!!

[Erna]

We used the frying batter Laura described in another thread to make killer onion rings...

Yummy, felt like we were sinning

Ingredients (this is approximate, we don't measure):

Buckwheat flour - one cup
Baking powder - one table spoon
Salt to taste
Black Pepper to taste
Grape seed oil - one table spoon
Hemp milk to desired thickness
Organic Dijon Mustard - one table spoon (optional)

Fry it in a stainless steel pan, with extra virgin olive oil about one inch deep.

Oooooo! I love onion rings.

So does Hubby.


Looks like we'll have to clothes pin the blankets to the mattress if I make on of those bloomin onion things....

 

[Gaby]

It does look great!

I've been thinking of trying calamari (squid) recently as well.

We'll be frying them in duck fat.

Baking soda or baking powder?

 

[T.C.]

Yeah, we did it with strips of fish and beans as well, really good. Any excuse to use the batter! ;)

Thanks. That much baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) would have tasted really nasty!

I'm going to have to give this a try. They look great!

When you do it with green beans, do you cook the green beans at all before frying?

Ditto! <counts down the time until our bulk order of buckwheat flour arrives....>

It's really, really good!

Nope, just fresh. ;)

Just make sure whatever you fry in the batter, that it's as dry as you can get it, so the batter can stick.
