Description

This beer batter recipe is delicious and easy! Great for onion rings, fish, or any vegetable you like fried (mushrooms, zucchini, etc.).

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Flour
  • 1 whole Egg, Beaten
  • 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 cup Beer
  • 1 cup Oil, For Frying
  • 3 whole Large Vidalia Or Yellow Onions

Preparation

Combine flour, egg, garlic powder, cayenne, and salt. Gradually add beer, stirring, until a thick batter forms. Slice onions about 1/2 inch thick.

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.

For a nice presentation, you can always sprinkle some more cayenne on top, or garnish with chopped parsley or parmesan! Enjoy!

Hi Lilputtin :) The batter needs to be thick–kind of sludgy consistency to really stick to those onion rings. This recipe does make a sludgy batter, I encourage you to try it 1 more time with the ratios above :) They turn out so delicious!

How do you get the batter to stick to the sliced onion? I would dip the onion in the batter and lift it out with nearly nothing on it! Also, can you describe the consistency of the batter more? 1 cup of beer made a very heavy, quite dry batter for me. I added more beer to make it stickier but I’m afraid of adding too much.

I have yet to master onion rings, but these look so easy I feel I might be able to do it! Sounds tasty and simple, just the way I like it! :)
