Onion rings in batter are an example of how the most budget-friendly kitchen staple can be transformed into a first-class appetizer. The beauty of this recipe is that you can experiment with spices and additives as much as you like, creating new flavors for your crispy onion rings every time. Add grated Parmesan cheese to the onion batter, and you'll be delighted with the new flavor and even more appetizing texture. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fried onion rings are best served hot, before the cheese sets.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Fill a deep fryer or large cast iron pot with vegetable oil to a depth of 5 cm. Heat to 165° - 170°C.
Knead the batter: In a large bowl, combine the wheat flour, rice flour, Parmesan, mustard powder, paprika, garlic powder, and 2 tablespoons salt. In another bowl, combine sour milk, beer, and mustard. Pour 1 cup of the resulting mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and knead until smooth and the consistency of pancake batter.

First, fry 1 onion ring. Dip it in the batter and fry for 2 minutes until golden brown. If the batter isn't cooked through, it's likely too thick. Add a splash of the liquid mixture you reserved before kneading the batter (you may need to thin it out a bit more after it rests).
Dip the onion rings into the batter a few at a time and fry for about 2 minutes until golden brown. Remove the rings from the oil with a slotted spoon and transfer to a wire rack. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese immediately.
