BEER BATTER RECIPE FOR ONION RINGS RECIPES

Steps:

• Cover onion slices with cold water and let stand 30 minutes.
• Remove to paper towels and press to dry.
• Separate into rings.
• Combine flour, sugar and salt.
• Combine milk and egg in a medium bowl and add dry ingredients and melted shortening; mix thoroughly.
• Dip onion rings in batter and fry in deep fryer or skillet filled with a couple of inches of oil until golden brown on both sides.
• Remove and drain on paper towels.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, granulated garlic, cayenne and 1 tablespoon each salt and black pepper in a large bowl until well blended. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, milk and beer.
• Dunk the onion rings in the beer mixture and then toss in the flour mixture to coat evenly. Shake off the excess flour and lay the rings on a baking sheet. Let sit for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, fill a heavy pot with 3 inches of vegetable oil and heat to 350 degrees F. Sift the flour mixture to remove any clumps.
• Dunk the onions a second time in the buttermilk and toss in the flour. Shake off any excess flour before dropping the rings into the hot oil. Fry until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
