Beer Battered Onion Rings

Beer Battered Onion Rings 

 

I love crispy onion rings but they’re always soggy when you order them with carryout. Once I realized how quick and simple it is to make my own, I never ordered them again. Now I have a batch waiting when my food arrives! 

Beer Battered Onion Rings 

2 large sweet onions, sliced into 1/2 inch rings and separated

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/8 teaspoon cayenne

1/4 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 egg beaten

1-1 1/2 cups beer

vegetable oil for frying

  

Slice onions into 1/2 inch rings and separate.  Scoop out 1/4 cup of flour onto a shallow plate. Set aside.

 

  

In a medium bowl combine 1 cup flour, cayenne, cumin, pepper, garlic powder.  Whisk until well blended. Mix in beaten egg and about 1 1/2 cups beer depending on how thick you want the batter.

Heat oil to about 375 degrees over medium high heat. Dip onion rings in flour on shallow plate and then into batter.  Allow excess batter to drip back into bowl.

 

  

Working in small batches, fry battered onion rings in the hot oil until browned on all sides, about 4 minutes. 

Remove from hot oil and drain on a paper towel lined baking sheet or plate.  Serve immediately.
