MARTHA'S FAVORITE ONION RINGS



Martha's Favorite Onion Rings image

This recipe appears in our cookbook "Martha Stewart's Vegetables" (Clarkson Potter). Thinly layered, slightly spicy yellow onions are used to make the light, crisp rings at Balthazar in New York City. (This recipe is adapted from the restaurant's cookbook, and it is Martha's hands-down favorite.) Beer flavors the batter and adds body, thanks to the bubbles. Baking powder, a leavening agent, helps to enlarge these bubbles as the batter fries.

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon coarse salt, plus more for sprinkling
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup beer, preferably lager or pilsner
2 tablespoons ice water
Peanut oil, for frying
2 medium yellow onions, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices, separated into rings

Steps:

  • Whisk together 1 cup flour, the salt, white pepper, and baking powder in a bowl. Whisk in beer and ice water until combined. Place remaining cup flour in a shallow dish.
  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees, with a baking sheet on middle rack. Heat 3 inches of oil to 375 degrees in a medium pot over medium high. Dredge onions in flour, turning to coat; tap off excess. Working in batches (about 8 at a time), dip onions in batter, shaking off excess. Carefully add to hot oil. Cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with salt. Transfer to baking sheet to keep warm while cooking remaining onions. Adjust heat as necessary to keep oil at a steady temperature. Serve hot.

The buttermilk-beer batter, seasoned with cayenne, yields a golden coating on the fried rings that gets even better when spritzed with lemon juice. Enjoy these alongside our Beef Burgers.

1 teaspoon coarse salt
Cayenne pepper
3/4 cup buttermilk
3/4 cup beer, preferably lager or pilsner
1 large egg
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Vegetable oil, for frying (about 4 cups)

Steps:

  • Combine flour, salt, and a pinch of cayenne in a medium bowl. Whisk in buttermilk, beer, egg, and lemon zest, and let stand for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Place a baking sheet on middle rack of oven. Heat oil to 380 degrees in a large, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat.

Tips:

  • Use a mandoline to slice the onions evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Soak the onion rings in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes before coating them in the batter. This will help the batter adhere to the onions.
  • Make sure the batter is cold before dipping the onion rings in it. This will help the batter stay crispy.
  • Fry the onion rings in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the onion rings will not cook evenly and will become soggy.
  • Serve the onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Beer-battered onion rings are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a casual get-together. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a crispy, flavorful treat that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a tasty snack, give beer-battered onion rings a try.
