This is both an independent dish and an excellent one. It is prepared very quickly, and the set of products is so basic that it can probably be found in any home.

Ingredients

  • 3 large onions;
  • 2 eggs;
  • 100 g sour cream;
  • 100 g flour;
  • salt and pepper - to taste;
  • vegetable oil for deep frying.

Peel the onion, cut into rings and separate them. To get rid of the excess bitterness of the onion, pour boiling water over it. It is most convenient to do this in a colander, so that you can immediately place the rings under cold water and prevent them from cooking.

Prepare the batter. Beat the eggs until foamy, add sour cream, flour and salt and whisk everything together. If you like it spicy, you can add pepper or mustard to the batter. In addition, grated cheese is sometimes added to make the rings crispier.

Dust the onion rings with flour, then dip into the batter and place in well-heated vegetable oil. When a golden crust appears, you can remove it. Place the finished onion rings on paper towels to remove excess fat.
