Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Vegetable oil, for deep-frying
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups rice flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon Montreal steak seasoning (not low-sodium)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 12-ounce bottle Belgian white beer, chilled
1/2 cup seltzer, chilled
2 sweet onions (such as Vidalia), sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rings

Steps:

  • Heat 3 inches of vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 365 degrees F. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200 degrees F and set a rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Whisk 1 cup all-purpose flour, the rice flour, baking powder, steak seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Whisk in the beer and seltzer until mostly smooth. Let sit 5 minutes to thicken. Place the remaining 1/2 cup all-purpose flour in a shallow bowl.
  • Working in about five batches, dredge the onion rings in the flour, then dip in the beer batter, letting the excess drip off. Fry until crisp and golden brown, flipping occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to the rack using a slotted spoon, season with salt and keep warm in the oven while you fry the remaining batches.

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups pale ale beer (see Cook's Note)
2 large yellow or Vidalia onions
Vegetable oil, for frying
Spicy ketchup, for dipping (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of the flour with the paprika, garlic powder, 2 teaspoons salt and the pepper. Whisk in the beer until the mixture is well combined. Let the batter rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 inches oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat to 375 degrees F. Trim the stems from the onions then peel. Slice the onions horizontally into 1/2-inch-thick rings and toss them with the remaining 1/2 cup flour in another large bowl.
  • Working in batches, dip the onion rings into the batter, shaking off any excess (see Cook's Note), then immediately lower them into the hot oil. Be careful not to overcrowd the pot. Cook, flipping once, until evenly browned, about 3 minutes. Remove the onions with a mesh spider or slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Immediately season them with salt. Coat and fry the remaining onion rings, returning the oil to 375 degrees F between batches. Serve right away with spicy ketchup.

Tips:

* For the best results, use a mandoline to slice the onions thinly and evenly. * Be sure to dry the onions thoroughly before coating them in the batter. This will help the batter adhere better and prevent the onions from becoming soggy. * Don't overcrowd the onions when frying them. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the onions will not cook evenly. * Fry the onions in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. * Drain the onions on paper towels to remove any excess oil. * Serve the onion strings immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Beer-battered onion strings are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They're perfect for parties, game days, or any other occasion.
