Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Neutral oil, for frying
1/2 cup store-bought dried sour cream and onion dip mix
4 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/4 cups (150 grams) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (60 grams) cornstarch
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup chilled seltzer water
1/2 cup (120 grams) sour cream
1/2 cup (18 grams) chopped chives
2 large yellow onions, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rings and separated
Ketchup, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat 2 inches of oil in a Dutch oven to 370 degrees F.
  • Whisk together the sour cream and onion dip mix, 2 teaspoons of the onion powder and 1/2 teaspoon of the garlic powder in a large bowl (large enough to use for dredging). Set aside 2 tablespoons of the seasoning mixture for later. To the mixture in the bowl, stir in 1/4 cup of the flour. Set aside.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 cup flour, the cornstarch, remaining 2 teaspoons onion powder, the salt, baking powder and remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Add the seltzer and sour cream and whisk until just smooth. Stir in the chives. The batter should be the consistency of thick paint.
  • Add the onion rings to the seasoned flour and toss to lightly coat. Working in 2 batches, dredge the floured rings in the batter, letting the excess drip back in the bowl, and add to the oil. Fry, flipping occasionally, until very crisp and deep golden, about 4 minutes per batch. Drain on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
  • While still hot, season the onion rings with the reserved sour cream and onion seasoning mixture. Serve immediately, with ketchup.
