List of Ingredients

Mini Beer-Battered Onion Rings


1-1/2 cups All-purpose flour 375 mL
1-1/2 tsp Salt 7 mL
1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper 1 mL
1 Bottle (341 mL) beer 1
5 Small onions (1-1/4 lb/625 g) 5
6 cups Vegetable oil (approx) 1.5 L


Recipe


In bowl, combine flour, salt and cayenne. Whisk in beer until smooth. Let stand for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, peel onions. Cut into 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick slices. Separate into rings.

In deep fryer or deep heavy-bottomed pot, pour in oil to come at least 2 inches (5 cm) up side. Heat to 375°F (190°C) or until a 1-inch (2.5 cm) cube of bread turns golden in 20 seconds. Using fork, dip 4 or 5 onion rings into batter; cook in oil for about 1 minute or until golden brown, turning halfway through.

Using slotted spoon, transfer to paper towel–lined baking sheet. Keep warm in 250°F (120°C) oven for up to 1 hour. Repeat with remaining onions. (Rings can be arranged in single layer on paper towel–lined trays, covered with plastic wrap and stored at room temperature for up to 8 hours; reheat in 350°F/180°C oven for about 5 minutes or until hot and crisp.)

Makes 8 servings.
