IPA Beer Battered Onion Rings

• 2 Sweet Onions Cut Into Half Inch Rounds
• 3 cups Imperial Pale Ale Beer, Divided
• 2 teaspoons Cider Vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Salt, Divided
• 1 teaspoon Black Pepper, Divided
• 3/4 cups Flour
• 3/4 cups Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 2 quarts Vegetable Oil, For Frying

1. Marinate onions for 1 hour in 2 cups of beer, vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.
2. Heat oil in heavy-bottomed pot until it reaches 365 degrees F. If you do not have a thermometer, test oil temperature by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if batter fries up quickly, oil is ready.
3. Whisk flour, cornstarch, baking powder, remaining beer, salt and pepper together to make batter.
4. Remove onions from marinade and dry thoroughly (batter will not stick well to wet onions).
5. Coat each onion in batter and drop into hot oil.
6. Cook 12 minutes, flip over and cook other side for 30 seconds.
7. You will know rings are ready by their color: they should appear golden brown.
8. Immediately salt onion rings after removing from pot.
9. Allow oil to heat back up and continue until all rings are fried.
