Beer Battered Southwestern Onion Rings      Traditional or Panko

  • Author: Bonnie Siesennop

Ingredients

2 large, sweet onions

1¼ c. flour   

1 t. baking powder

1 t. salt, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, and sugar

½ t. cayenne pepper  

1 can beer       

oil for frying             

panko, breadcrumbs – optional    

                                                

Lime Mayo Sauce

½ c. mayo

1 T. ketchup

2-3 t. chili sauce

½ t. minced garlic

 1 T. lime juice

 

Instructions

     Peel onions and cut into 3/8” thick slices; separate into rings. 

     Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and spices.  Pour enough beer into the flour mixture until the batter is runny, I use almost a whole can of beer, blend until smooth.  With a fork, dip onion rings into batter, coating well.

     For traditional onion rings, fry in oil heated to 375 degrees until light brown on both sides, turning once.  Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt. 

     For crunchier onion rings, after rings are dipped in the batter coat them with panko breadcrumbs, then fry in the oil. 

     Mix sauce ingredients, serve with onion rings.
