Gluten-free Onion Rings : Recipe for Kids

Gluten-free Onion Rings : Recipe for Kids

What You Need

3 large white or yellow onions
1 cup gluten-free corn meal
1 cup rice flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup yogurt
1 cup milk
ground pepper
canola oil for deep frying

How to Do

Using a large dutch over, heat enough canola oil fill your pot to a 3/4” depth. Heat the oil over high heat to 350 degrees, use a candy thermometer to gauge this. Once you have reached 350 turn down the heat just slightly, but keep an eye in the temp and turn the heat back up if the oil starts to cool.

Combine the milk and yogurt in a small bowl, and then combine the cornmeal, flour, salt and pepper in another bowl. Slice the onions and separate the rings. Soak rings in the milk and yogurt mixture for a few minutes, dredge both sides through the flour mixture and then carefully place the rings into the oil with tongs. Cook the rings for 4 minutes, just until they are golden. Remove to a paper towel-covered cookie sheet and keep in a 200 degree oven until you are ready to serve
