List of Ingredients

2 large sweet onions
1 egg
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup buttermilk
12 ounces beer
2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
peanut oil for frying


Recipe

Peel the onions and slice into 1/2-inch rings. Remove the medium to large rings and set aside. Discard the centers of the onions or reserve them for another use. Lightly beat the egg in a large mixing bowl. Whisk in the remaining ingredients until mixture is smooth.

Heat 2 inches of oil in a large frying pan to 375 degrees. Dip the onion rings into the batter and carefully drop into the hot oil. Fry one layer at a time until lightly browned. Drain on paper towels. Keep warm in a 200-degree oven until ready to serve. Serves 6.
