1
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2
Add Wet Ingredients
Gradually pour in the beer and water into the dry mixture while continuously whisking to avoid lumps. Mix until the batter is smooth and thick.
3
Rest the Batter
Let the batter sit for about 15 minutes to allow it to thicken slightly.

4
Slice the Onions
Peel the onions and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set them aside.
5
Heat the Oil
In a deep fryer or a large, heavy pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

6
Coat the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
7
Fry the Onion Rings
Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally.
8
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the onion rings from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Season with salt while hot.

9
Enjoy
Serve the beer battered onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
