Recipe type: Appetizer
Serves: 4 Servings
Ingredients
  • 2 Sweet Onions Cut into ½ Inch Rounds
  • 3 Cups of Imperial Pale Ale Beer (Separated)
  • 2 Teaspoons of Cider Vinegar
  • 1 Teaspoon of Salt (More to Season)
  • 1 Teaspoon of Black Pepper
  • ¾ Cup Flour
  • ¾ Cup Cornstarch
  • 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 2 Quarts of Vegetable Oil (for Frying)
Directions
  1. Marinade onions for 60 minutes in 2 cups of beer, vinegar, ¼ teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of pepper.
  2. Heat oil in heavy bottom pot until it reaches 365 degrees. If you do not have a thermometer then test the oil temperature by dropping a small amount of batter into it, if the batter fries up quickly then the oil is ready.
  3. Whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and the remaining beer, salt & pepper together to make the batter.
  4. Remove the onions from the marinade and dry thoroughly (batter will not stick well to wet onions).
  5. Coat each onion in batter and drop into hot oil. Cook 1-2 minutes and flip over and cook other side for 30 seconds. You will know the rings are ready by their color, it should appear golden brown.
  6. Immediately salt onion rings after removing from pot.
  7. Allow oil to heat back up and continue until all rings are fried.
Notes
Do not overcrowd the fry pot or the onion rings will stick to each other.
Make sure you allow the oil to heat back up after each round of frying.
