These flavorful onion rings are perfect for a fish fry, or with these Batter-Dipped Chicken Tenders.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups cake flour
- ¼ teaspoon kosher or sea salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
- 1½ pounds yellow onions
- All-purpose flour, as needed for dredging
- 1 quart vegetable oil
Preparation
Combine the cake flour, salt, and paprika. Add egg and beer and mix just until incorporated.
Peel onions and slice in ¼-inch slices, then separate into rings. Dredge with all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat oil in 8-quart stock pot or Dutch oven to 325°F.
Dip individual onion rings into the batter, then carefully add each to the hot oil. Deep-fry until golden brown. Only fry a small batch at a time to promote even cooking and to prevent the oil temperature from dropping too quickly.
Season with salt as soon as they are removed from the fryer. Serve immediately.
