Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Peel and slice the large onions into 1/4 inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set them aside.

Batter Preparation

  1. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 3

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Add the beaten egg and beer to the dry ingredients. Mix until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the onion rings.

Frying

  1. 4

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

  2. 5

    Coat Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.

  3. 6

    Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.

  4. 7

    Fry the onion rings for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.

  5. 8

    Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serving

  1. 9

    Serve the beer-battered onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or ketchup.
