IPA Beer Battered Onion Rings

Apple Cake

This delectable Apple Cake has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft moist center that is loaded with chunks of sweet apple and pecans. It is perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. It is lightly drizzled with an easy four ingredient caramel sauce. I make this cake several times each fall for bake sales, potlucks and family and friend get-togethers.

Easy Ratatouille

This easy ratatouille recipe is a classic summer French stew filled with vibrant, colourful and nutritious vegetables: tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. It is a low-carb, gluten-free and vegan dish that can be made in one pan and served atop greens or grains, as a side to a main entrée, or all on its own.

You can’t brown batter by baking in the oven–or even keep it adhered to the onion rings, I suspect. Roasted onion, however is delicious or you might be able to use a crumb or cornmeal coating that would work if you cared to experiment. Nice dream, scratchcook3, but once in a while the real thing is absolutely worth the extra fat calories and kitchen mess. With the sweet Vidalias in the supermarket, right now is that perfect time–looks like next weekend might be my hubbies lucky day.
My observation has to do with the cornstarch batter. I’ve used it in the past for tempura, but it never browns for me as the gorgeous rings in your photo. Is it the hotter oil temp (I usually fry onion rings at 350), or does the ale have more sugar than the lager I typically use in my batter made with wheat flour?
