Beer Battered Onion Rings
Golden, crispy, and packed with flavor, these beer battered onion rings are a perfect appetizer or side dish. The light, airy batter made with beer gives them a delightful crunch while the onions remain tender and sweet inside.
Ingredients
- 2 large onions sliced into 1/4-inch rings
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour divided
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 cup beer lager or pale ale
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of flour, baking powder, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
- Gradually whisk in the beer until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Place the remaining 1/2 cup of flour in a shallow dish.
- Dip each onion ring into the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip into the beer batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil, frying a few at a time to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry for 2–3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, turning once during cooking.
- Remove the onion rings with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauces.
Notes
For an extra crispy coating, double dip the onion rings by dipping them back into the batter after the first coating, then frying as directed.
