how much water should be added to batter?
Person   ()
No water is added. Since the onions are soaked, the moisture will help some of the flour to stick to it.

onion rings
should the batter for onion rings be thick or thin
 
Reply :-
The batter here is a dry one. You just soak in buttermilk and coat it with flour before frying.
