Beer-Battered Onion Rings

Instructions

1. 1

   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.

2. 2

   In a bowl, place ¾ cup of the flour. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

3. 3

   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).

4. 4

   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.

5. 5

   Delicious with Lobster Rolls, burgers or hot dogs.
