๐ก Fry Cook Pro-Tips for Success
- Keep the Oil Hot: If your oil temperature drops below 350ยฐF, the batter will absorb too much grease and become heavy. Keep a kitchen thermometer handy to monitor the heat between batches! ๐ก๏ธ
- Sweet is Best: Stick to sweet onion varieties (like Vidalia). They have a high sugar and water content, which causes them to mellow out and caramelize into incredibly sweet, tender bites when fried. ๐ง ๐ฏ
