Best crispy beer battered onion rings
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup corn starch
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 can beer
- 1/4 cup Creole seasoning (optional)
- 3 large yellow/sweet onion
- 1 can beer
- 2 tbsp malt vinegar
- 1 dash salt
- This looks long and tedious but its not.
- After you have made these once it so simple you may never need to check the recipe again.
- Also these turn out ridiculously crispy!
- So darn delicious.
- I woulda posted a picture but wasnt thinking clearly cuz i was fighting to get my fair share of them while they were being devoured.
- I preheat my oven to 200 and placed foil on a baking sheet to store the batches of onion rings while the rest cooked.
- So if the onion rings need to stay warm.
- preheat the oven to 200 now.
- This will require an oil temp of 350-375 degrees.
- So go ahead and preheat the oil.
- Now we will prepare the onions so they have time to marinate while the batter is made.
- Peel off the outer layer of the onions and cut off the ends.
- Once onion is peeled slice the onions into 1/4 inch slices.
- Now place the onions into a large ziplock baggie and pour in 1 can of beer, the malt vinegar and some salt to create the marinade.
- If u want to use wine thats fine too.
- Add more beer if u deem fit.
- Add dash of salt... maybe two... maybe three... its up to u.
- Set onions aside for 30 mins.
- Now we make the batter.
- add the dry ingredients into medium to large mixing bowl.
- Mix with a fork to even all the ingredients out.
- Now slowly while mixing with fork or whisk add the 1 can of beer.
- Mix until batter is smooth.
- The trick here to make the perfect batter may require fiddling since a cup of flour today is not always gonna be the same exact amount as a cup of flour tomorrow.
- You should be able to lift some of the batter with a fork and draw squiggly lines on the batter that hold thier form for a second then molds right back into the batter.
- So add more flour or more Beer to get right consistency.
- Optionally... add spices to flavor your batter.
- I used creole seasoning and they were amazing.
- I added about a quarter cup if u wanna try it.
- Now dip your onions in your batter.
- Let the batter run off the onion until its done oozing off.
- Then place the battered onions in the oil making sure not to over crowd them and get them stuck together.
- I like to turn the onions halfway through the frying process so that its evenly cooked.
- Cook them until golden or golden brown.
- Now experiment... use different seasonings in the batter.
- Use any of your favorite beers for the batter and marinade.
- Also fry other items!
- I had left over batter so i dipped some sliced banana peppers in it and fried them and they were Amazing!
- Enjoy and have fun leave comments about your trials.
