Okay, so, I saw this thing online about making onion rings with pancake batter. Onion rings, right? Sounds a bit weird, but hey, I’m always up for trying something new in the kitchen. Plus, I do love me a good onion ring!
First things first, I grabbed the usual suspects: onions, a box of pancake mix, and some oil for frying. I sliced up those onions into nice, thick rings – gotta have that good onion-to-batter ratio, you know?
Next up, the batter. I just followed the instructions on the pancake box, nothing fancy. Mixed the dry mix with some water until it was all smooth and a little bit thick, like how you’d make regular pancakes.
Frying them up
-
I heated up some oil in a big pan. You want it hot enough that a little drop of batter sizzles right away, but not so hot that it’s smoking.

Then came the fun part – dipping those onion rings into the pancake batter. I made sure each ring was fully coated, then carefully dropped them into the hot oil. Gotta be gentle here, you don’t want to splash that hot oil around.

I fried them up for a few minutes on each side, flipping them until they were all golden brown and crispy. They puffed up a bit in the oil, which was kinda cool to watch.
Once they were done, I took them out of the oil and let them drain on some paper towels. Gave them a little sprinkle of salt while they were still hot – gotta have that salty kick!
And there you have it, onion rings made with pancake batter! They turned out surprisingly good, all crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Honestly, they tasted pretty darn close to regular onion rings. Not bad for a little kitchen experiment, if I do say so myself.
In conclusion, I realized that pancake mix is versatile and useful.
