Beer Battered Onion Ring Recipe
These Beer Battered Onion Rings are made from thick-sliced sweet onions coated first in a dry dredge and then dipped into a spiced beer batter before frying. The dry dredge helps the batter adhere and adds subtle seasoning, while the beer batter creates a light, crispy exterior. Served hot, they offer a satisfying crunch and tender onion inside.

Ingredients
- 2 onion large; sweet
Dry Dredge:
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Beer Batter:
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon parsley dried
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup light beer of choice
- 1 egg large
- 3 cups vegetable oil for frying, or blended oil
Instructions
- Peel and discard the outer skin of the onion. Slice the onion into 3/4 inch wide rings, set aside the centers (anything too small for an onion ring). Separate all the rings from each other.
- For the dry Dredge: Combine the flour, powdered sugar and onion powder in a shallow bowl and whisk together. Toss the cut onion rings into the dry mixture until evenly coated, set aside.
- For the beer batter: In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, garlic powder, parsley and baking soda. Slowly whisk in the beer and egg. Place in the refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
- When you are ready to fry, fill a large heavy frying pan or pot with 2-3 inches of oil. Heat the oil over medium heat (360-370°F). Test the oil by dripping a small drop of batter into the oil, if it starts to float and sizzle, the oil is ready for frying. Also, preheat the oven to 200°F and place a wire rack over a baking sheet lined with paper towels.
- Take rings out of the dry dredge, tapping off excess, then dip into the beer batter, covering completely and drop carefully into the hot oil. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until they are a deep golden brown, flipping at last once, if not four times.
- Remove each batch to the prepared baking sheet and then place them in the oven to stay warm. Repeat until all are fried.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
