Ingredients:
3 large sweet onions, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch round slices
ice water, to cover onion slices
2 1/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons seasoning salt ( or use white salt)
1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
2 cups beer
1 large eggs, lightly beaten
vegetable oil ( for frying)
Directions:
Separate the onion slices into rings and place in a large bowl of ice water (make certain that the ice water covers the onions) let sit in water for 30 minutes, then remove and drain well on paper towels.
In a bowl combine the flour, baking powder, seasoned salt and cornmeal; stir well to combine.
Add in beer and egg; whisk to combine thoroughly; place the batter in the refrigerator to chill for 15 minutes.
Dip the onion rings into batter coating both sides well.
Pour the oil in a Dutch oven to 2-3 inches in depth; heat to about 375 degrees.
Fry the onion rings only a couple at a time for about 3-5 minutes or until golden brown on both sides.
Drain well on a brown paper bag to absorb the oil.
Delicious!
