What's the secret for some good old fashioned onion rings?

>> No.6697342

Beer and a sweet onion

Buttermilk and DRY onion rings.

>> No.6697453

Make sure you use onions and not potatoes.

Both of these. Both beer and buttermilk will give you a great batter, the main difference being that beer will make the batter a bit puffier, from the carbonation. Club soda will do the same thing. Buttermilk gives good flavor. It just depends on what you want. Just remember to season the batter well.

I've never had a bad onion ring.

Yea, I wanna ask; what kind of oil is best for frying in say, a cast iron skillet. I don't have a deep fryer. Does corn oil work ok?

Sonic doesn't. Not that sonic is good, just saying their onion rings are real. I would know because it fucked sucked giant dick hand breading 7 trays per day

>>6697948
Oil isn't really going to react with seasoned cast iron, just look for something with a high smoke point. Typically nut or seed oils

You can use red onions if you like. They're milder than most other onions so you might not get much oniony flavor though.

I believe Outback uses a red onion for their "Bloomin' Onion".

>good old fashioned onion rings

If you mean like in your OP pic, they are made in a factory, put into a big bag in a freezer, and are transferred to a restaurant where they're thrown directly into a fryolator until golden-brown.
