Beer-Battered Onion Rings
Beer-Battered Onion Rings
Ingredients
- Canola oil, for frying
- 2 cups (280 g) all-purpose unbleached flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 bottle (340 ml) pale ale, cold
- 2 onions, cut into ¼-inch (½ cm) slices (see note)
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oil in a deep fryer to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with paper towels or place a wire rack on the baking sheet.
- In a bowl, place ¾ cup of the flour. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- In another bowl, combine the remaining flour (1 ¼ cups), salt and cayenne pepper. Add the beer and gently stir with a fork until the batter is just mixed (a few lumps of flour will remain).
- Coat a few onion rings at a time in the seasoned flour. Shake to remove any excess. Dip the rings in the batter. Gently lower into the hot oil. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on the baking sheet. Season lightly with salt. Repeat with the remaining rings. Keep warm until ready to serve.
- Delicious with Lobster Rolls, burgers or hot dogs.
