Onion Rings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Slice the onions into 1/4-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and place them in a bowl of cold water. Let them soak for about 30 minutes to reduce bitterness.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer until the batter is smooth and thick.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Remove the onion rings from the water and pat dry with paper towels. Dip each ring into the batter, allowing excess to drip off.

  5. 5

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Carefully place the battered onion rings in the hot oil, a few at a time. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the crispy onion rings hot with Cajun creole chopper sauce on the side.
