4 to 5 cups of canola oil for frying
2 cups flour
½ tsp. essence
1 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. cornstarch
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
1 bottle Guinness
Couple sweet yellow onions
In a deep-fryer, preheat oil to about 350°
Place 1/2 cup of the flour and the essence in a resalable plastic bag.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the remaining flour, the baking powder, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Whisk in the bottle of Guinness until smooth.
Put the onion rings in a bag containing the flour mixture and toss to coat. Working in batches, transfer the floured onion rings to the beer batter, make sure that each ring is thoroughly coated with the batter. Remove the rings from the batter and allow excess batter to drip off from the onion rings and immediately place in the preheated oil. Fry, in batches, until golden brown, turning rings as needed, about 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Remove the onion rings, place on a paper towel-lined plate, and season with salt. Repeat with remaining onion rings. Serve hot.
Serves 6
*Use the Guinness for the batter, don’t drink it and use something else, there’s 5 others in that package!
