Beer Battered Onion Rings Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Onions

   Peel the onions and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.

2. 2

   Make the Batter

   In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the stout beer, whisking until the batter is smooth and well combined.

3. 3

   Heat the Oil

   In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

4. 4

   Coat the Onion Rings

   Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow excess batter to drip off.

5. 5

   Fry the Onion Rings

   Carefully place the battered onion rings in the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

6. 6

   Drain and Serve

   Remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with Russian dressing.

7. 7

   Make the Russian Dressing

   In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
