Every now and then, probably about once a month, my flatmate and I have a bit of a catchup dinner. It's the perfect excuse to try somewhere new, have a go at a recipe we've had our eye on, or go for an old favourite.
Our last dinner involved steak and home made onion rings. Phwoar.
Home Made Onion Rings
Serves 2-4 (depending on how greedy you are).
2 large onions, sliced into rings of about 1cm,
oil for frying,
100g plain flour,
2 egg yolks,
1 egg white,
salt and pepper to season,
150ml milk
In a medium sized bowl, mix the two egg yolks with the flour and milk to make a smooth batter, and, if you have time, allow to stand for half an hour.
Heat the oil in a deep pan, or a deep fat fryer. Meanwhile, whisk the egg white until stiff, and fold into the batter. Test the oil by dropping in a little batter - if it puffs slightly, sizzles and turns golden then it's hot enough to cook the rings in.
Coat the onion in the batter, then carefully drop them into the oil in batches. Leave for a couple of minutes until golden (use a metal slotted spoon to turn them if they float like mine did!), and carefully remove. Drain any excess oil onto kitchen paper.
Serve immediately - perfect with garlic mayonnaise for dipping!
Recipe adapted slightly from here.
