Method
Onion Rings
- Peel and slice the onion into rings. Place the onion into a mixing bowl, add the buttermilk, and mix to coat. Let stand for 15 minutes.
- Pour the canola oil into a large, high-rimmed pot or pan, place onto high heat, and heat to 180°C (350°F).
- To make the batter, add half of the plain flour into a mixing bowl. Add the sea salt flakes, ground white pepper and garlic powder, and mix to combine. Pour in the soda water and whisk until smooth.
- In another bowl, add the remaining plain flour for dredging.
- Remove the onions from the buttermilk, removing any excess. Place the onions into the flour (in batches), mix to completely coat, and shake off any excess flour. Add the dredged onions into the batter, remove any excess batter, then gently place the prepared onions into the hot oil.
- Fry the onion rings for 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and place onto a wire rack to drain.
Ranch Sauce
- In a mixing bowl, add the egg yolks, dijon mustard, flat-leaf parsley, dill, chives, and lemon juice, and whisk to combine.
- Secure the base of the mixing bowl with a wet towel or grip mat. While continuously and vigorously whisking, slowly pour in the olive oil to create an emulsion. If it starts to pool, stop adding the olive oil and whisk it in before continuing.
- Once the mayonnaise has been created, add the onion powder, garlic powder, buttermilk and season to taste, and whisk to combine. Serve the ranch sauce alongside the onion rings. Dig in.
