2 large yellow onions (about 2 pounds total)
3 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 1/2 cups cornstarch
2 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
2 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper

4 to 6 cups vegetable oil (or more depending on vessel), for frying
Special Equipment:

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250°F. Set two cooling racks over two rimmed baking sheets.
  • Cut onions crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices and separate into rings. Reserve small inner rings for another use. Add 1 cup flour to a large bowl. Toss rings in flour and let sit 30 minutes.
  • When ready to fry, whisk together remaining 2 cups flour, cornstarch, garlic and onion powder, cayenne, sugar and salt in a large bowl. In another large bowl, whisk together the beer, water, and egg. Gradually whisk the dry mixture to the wet mixture.

  • In a heavy frying pan heat oil (adjust amount, depending on the size of your pan, so that you have a couple of inches of oil) over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, dip onions in batter and fry, turning once to brown evenly on both sides. Drain on paper towels.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect beer batter, use a light beer and make sure it's cold. This will help the batter stay light and crispy.
  • When dipping the onion rings in the batter, make sure they are completely coated. This will help them stay together when frying.
  • Fry the onion rings in hot oil. This will help them cook quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the onion rings. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the onion rings will not cook properly.
  • Serve the onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Cajun dipping sauce is a great option, but you can also use ranch dressing, ketchup, or your favorite barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Beer-battered onion rings are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or gatherings, and they are always a hit with kids and adults alike. So next time you are looking for a tasty treat, give these beer-battered onion rings a try. You won't be disappointed!
