French Fried Onion Rings (Beer Batter)

Ingredients

• 2 large sweet onions
• 1¼ cup flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup beer
• 1 Tbsp salad oil
• for sprinkling salt

Method

1. Peel and slice the onions about 3/8-inch thick; separate into rings. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, egg, beer and salad oil; blend until smooth.
2. Dip the onion rings into the batter. Heat deep fat to 375 degrees. Fry the rings 2 to 3 minutes until golden. Drain on absorbent paper; sprinkle with salt.
3. To freeze: Arrange the fried rings in a single layer on trays. Place in the freezer until frozen. Pack in moisture-vapor-proof packages. Label, date and return to the freezer. To reheat, spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 5 to 7 minutes.

Notes

Clipping. Yield: 6 servings. A beer-batter version (distinct from the milk-soaked Rosauers onion rings under Vegetables).
