Beered onion rings

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
All-purpose flour
Very large onions; preferably Vidalias
Green flakes; such as parsley, celery or chives (optional)
Dark German beer
Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetable oil

Directions

In large bowl, mix flour, beer, salt and pepper into a batter. (Similar recipes suggest 1 cup flour and 1 cup beer.) The thicker the batter is, the more "crunchies" you'll end up with.

Add enough green flakes to please your eye. These will not change the taste one iota! They just add a pleasing appearance. Skip them if you want.

Let batter sit at room temperature for 3-4 hurs to let beer "work". Slice onion ¼-inch thick and separate into rings. Heat oil to 375 degrees. Dip a few rings at a time into batter and fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. If you can keep everyone out of the kitchen while you cook them, they can be kept warm in a 200-degree oven until serving.

NOTE: Leftover rings can be frozen and reheated in a 400-degree oven.
