Beer Battered Onion Rings – Recipe from Carol B {family friend}

Ingredients

• 1 C flour {we used all purpose}
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 egg
• 1 C warm beer
• Oil for frying {we used vegetable}
• 2-3 large white (or sweet) onions, sliced into rings

Directions

Begin by mixing together 1 C flour, 2 tsp. baking powder, and 1 tsp. salt in a medium bowl. 

Pour out the beer. 

Add in the beer and egg. 

Mix well. 

The batter should be about the consistency of pancake batter.

Pour vegetable oil into a deep fryer.  Heat oil carefully to 370 degrees. 

While oil is heating, peel and prepare the onions.  You’ll want them to end up in rings. 

Using a fork, carefully dip the onion rings into the beer batter.  Then, place them into the hot oil. 

Cook for 2-3 minutes, flipping once, and use a slotted metal spoon to remove the onions from the hot oil.  Place them on a paper towel to cool. 

Note: Deep frying can be very dangerous – please keep children away from the oil and also follow the directions that came with your deep fryer carefully.  Use caution.
