Ingredients (Makes 6 Servings)
- 2 Sweet Onions
- 2 cups Cold Water
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 2 cups of Vegetable Oil
- ½ tsp Salt
For The Batter
- 1 cup of All-Purpose Flour
- 1/4 cup Corn Starch
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp White Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 cup cold Guinness Beer, replace with any beer or non-alcoholic club soda
Method
- Clean the onions and slice them into thick rings. Pull off the inner skin to prevent the ring from splitting when you fry the onion rings.
- In a large bowl, add ice-cold water and salt. Whisk to dissolve the salt. Add the onions and soak for 20 minutes.
- Individually remove the onion rings out of the water and coat each one with flour. Leave them to rest on a wire rack for 20 minutes.
- In another bowl, combine all the dry ingredients for the batter and pop open a can of chilled Guinness beer.
- Pour in the beer and whisk to bring it all together to a smooth batter. Once the consistency is just thinner than a pancake batter, you’re good to go.
- Using a long skewer, coat each onion ring in the batter and drain off any excess batter.
Fill a medium-sized pot with enough oil to deep fry the onion rings. Once the temperature of the oil reaches about 350 degrees F, gently add 2-4 onion rings and fry them till they are golden and crispy. - Remove them onto a wire rack to drain off the excess oil and ensure they stay crispy and finish them off with a sprinkle of salt.
