These are a great dirty treat. I've made them about 3 times now. A tad fidley and best served straight after cooking. Obviously it's best to be very well prepared.
INGREDIENTS:
- 500g onions, sliced into 1cm- thick rounds
- 2 cups (500ml) sherry vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sea salt flakes
- 1 1/2 cups (225g) self raising flour - 2 tablespoons caster (supervine) sugar - 3 cups (750ml) cold soda water - 3 cups (450g) cornflour (cornstarch) - vegetable oil, for deep-frying
- smoked sea salt flakes, to serve
INSTRUCTIONS:
Place the onion, vinegar and salt in a large bowl, separating the onion into rings. Set aside for 1 hour 30 minutes to marinate. Drain the vinegar mixture from the onion. Place the self-raising flour, sugar, soda water and 2 cups (300g) of the cornflour in a large bowl and stir to just combine. Place the remaining cornflour in a separate large bowl. Half-fill a large saucepan with the oil and place over medium heat until it reaches 190°C (375°F) on a deep-frying thermometer. Working in batches, dust the onion in the reserved cornflour, dip in the batter and cook for 2–3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove using a slotted spoon, drain well, sprinkle with smoked salt and serve immediately. Serves 6.
