For my most recent birthday, 2 of my children got me a present I always wanted – a good countertop deep fryer. With the help of my soon-to-be-wife they made the selection of an Emeril LaGasse/T-fal Deep Fryer.
One of the first items that I decided to make was Beer Battered Onion Rings. I have to admit that I am a sucker for anything deep fried, and my kids are no different. So, although they are not the biggest fans of onions, the prospects of some grilled burgers and deep-fried anything sounded good to them!

Ingredients
- 4 large sweet onions, sliced into rings
- 1/2 cup dark beer
- 1/2 cup seltzer water or club soda
- 1 egg white
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
- 1 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup of milk
Instructions
- Pour beer and seltzer water or soda into the bowl of a blender or food processor (I use the Magic Bullet) .
- Sprinkle in pepper, mustard, salt and onion powder. Pulse until combined.
- Add flour last, and process only until mixed.
- The batter should be slightly lumpy, about the consistency of pancake batter.
- Whisk egg white until frothy in a shallow bowl. Gently stir in contents of food processor, mixing until combined.
- Soak the sliced onions in a small amount of milk for 10 minutes.
- Drain and lightly sprinkle with onion powder, then dip in batter.
- Cook them in oil that is 450 degrees for 8 minutes.
- Place on paper towel to remove excess grease, and salt.
Notes
- With my handy dandy deep fryer I was able to fry all of the onion rings in two batches.
- They were enjoyed with ketchup and honey mustard dipping sauces by my family.
