Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onion Rings

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Gradually add ice water to create a batter. Dip onion rings into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.

  2. 2

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Heat oil in a deep fryer or a heavy pan to 180°C (350°F). Fry the battered onion rings in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Wease

    On a serving plate, place a generous amount of bacon jam. Add slices of Fontina cheese on top. Drizzle with roasted garlic aioli. Finish by adding the crispy black and tan onion rings on top.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy with a side of your favorite dipping sauce or more aioli.
