Ingredients

• 2 Large onions
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.75 cup Dark stout beer
• 0.75 cup Pale ale beer
• 6 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 0.5 cup Extra all-purpose flour (for dredging)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the onions and slice them into thick rings, about 1/2 inch wide. Separate the rings and set them aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Gradually pour in the stout beer and pale ale, whisking until the batter is smooth and has the consistency of pancake batter. Add more beer if needed.

Step 4

Place 0.5 cups of flour in a shallow dish for dredging.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature.

Step 6

Working in batches, dredge the onion rings in the flour, shaking off excess. Dip them into the beer batter, coating completely.

Step 7

Carefully lower the battered onion rings into the hot oil. Fry each batch for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through if needed.

Step 8

Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried onion rings and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining onion rings, ensuring the oil returns to 375°F between batches.

Step 10

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
