BEER-BATTERED ONION RINGS BY MARTHA STEWART RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium-high heat, bring 3 inches (8 cm) of oil to 375˚F (190˚C).
• Peel and cut onions crosswise into ½ (1 ⅓ cm) inch slices.
• Separate into rings and place in a large bowl with ice water while you prepare the batter.
• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour (125 g), salt, white pepper, and baking powder.
• Whisk in beer and 2 tablespoons of ice water until just combined.
• In a separate bowl, add the remaining 1 cup (125 g) of flour.
• Remove the rings from the ice water bath and pat dry. Coat the rings first in the flour then in the batter, allowing any excess to drip off.
• Working in batches, transfer battered rings to hot oil to cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Transfer to a paper towel lined rack to drain. Sprinkle with salt.
• Enjoy!

BEER-BATTERED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Combine flour, salt, and a pinch of cayenne in a medium bowl. Whisk in buttermilk, beer, egg, and lemon zest, and let stand for 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Place a baking sheet on middle rack of oven. Heat oil to 380 degrees in a large, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Dip a few slices of onion in batter, turning to coat. Gently drop slices into oil. Cook, turning once with a wire-mesh skimmer, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer rings to paper towels, season with salt immediately, then transfer onions to the baking sheet to keep warm. Repeat with remaining onions. (Adjust heat as necessary to keep oil at a steady temperature.) Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing.

• Pulse cornflakes and breadcrumbs in blender/processor until very fine crumbs; transfer to medium bowl.
• In another medium bowl, whisk egg, milk, flour and seasonings.
• Place oiled baking sheet in oven for TWO MINUTES to heat up.
• Dip rings into egg mixture (let excess drip off), dredge in cornflake mixture; place on a plate.
• Arrange onion rings on heated oil-sheet; bake (turning once) until rings are golden brown (about 16 minutes).
• Season with more salt.
• SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Eat as is, with your choice of dipping sauce (ketchup, ketchup/yellow mustard, Zip's Sauce, ranch, barbecue, etc).
• Serve skinny cut rings over the top of your favorite burger. Especially good on mushroom-n-Swiss burgers!
