Beer Batter Onion Rings
Try to get the largest onions you can. A lot of people swear by Vidalia's but
any large white or yellow onion will do.
Preparation Time: 15 minutes (plus 1 hour batter rest time) Serving Size: 4
- 2 cups all purpose flour, plus 1/4 cup for dredging
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
|
- 2 eggs, room temperature, slightly beaten
- 12 ounces beer, room temperature
- 3 to 4 large onions
- Peanut oil for frying
|

Sift the flour into a large bowl and add
salt, pepper, oil and beaten eggs. Pour in the beer and whisk until
thoroughly combined and lump free. Let batter rest for 1 hour. Heat oil to
375°. Slice onions 1/2 inch thick, separate the rings and discard the small
bits. Dredge rings in the reserved 1/4 cup all purpose flour and shake off
excess. Dip the rings in the batter, shaking off excess and fry until golden
brown, about 5 minutes, turning while frying. Remove and drain on a wire
rack and salt to taste. Batches may be held in a 200° oven until all are
fried. |
