Ingredients:
1 onion 1 cup self-rising flour 1 tbs corn starch salt cayenne cold beer wooden skewer
Directions:
Heat oil in deep fryer or other vessel to 350°. Peel onion and slice crossways so it will form rings once separated. The slices should be about 1/2" thick. Carefully separate into rings. Place 1/4 coup of flour into a plastic or brown paper bag. Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper. The cayenne may be omitted if you do not like spicy foods. Add the separated onion rings and shake well to coat each ring. Set aside. Take remaining 3/4 cup flour and place into bowl. Add cornstarch and mix together. Add cold beer - usually 4-6 ounces. You want the batter to be thin but not watery. Slightly thicker than soup is good. The beer must be cold so that the batter is cold - warm batter will not yield the desired results. Remove onion rings from flour one at a time and dip into batter. With a wooden skewer remove the onion ring from batter and slowly drop into deep fryer. Do not crowd the fryer. I only had six rings max in mine while I was cooking them. As the onion rings start to brown you will want to use the wooden skewer to flip it over so the other side may cook. When rings are golden brown remove them from the oil with the wooden skewer and place on metal rack (inside a baking pan) so that any excess oil may drip away. Add salt to taste and enjoy!
