Onion Rings In Beer And Vodka Batter Recipes

ONION RINGS RECIPE

Steps:

• Optional: Soak onions in ice water for 15 minutes and pat them completely dry before frying. This neutralizes the flavors and brings out a hint of sweetness instead of a harsher bite. It also makes them a bit crunchier.
• Place cooling racks over a baking sheet next to where you'll be frying.
• Peel the onion and position it so the stem is facing outward (not up or down). Slice onions into ½ inch thick slices and separate the slices into rings. (See post for step by step photos and PRO tips for cutting onion rings.)
• Toss thein cornstarch. This helps the batter stick to the onions. It also absorbs moisture and prevents gluten from developing, which makes them crispier.
• Whisk the 1 ½ cups flour and remaining dry ingredients together until well-combined. Gradually pour in the beer, whisking continuously. Add up to 2 additional tablespoons of flour if needed. The consistency should resemble a thin pancake batter.
• Heat oil to 365-375 degrees. Dip 4-5 onion rings in batter and gently shake off any excess. Carefully lower them, one at a time, into the preheated oil. If the oil is at the right temperature, they should rise to the top almost immediately. If it's not, they'll sink and stick to the bottom and the batter will fall off.
• Fry for about 1 minute + 20 seconds. Flip them over when the first side is golden brown. Cook for another 45 seconds or so, then remove and place on cooling racks. (I find that using a fork is the best way to handle them.)
• Repeat until all onion rings have been fried. Serve with dipping sauce. (Ketchup, Ranch, BBQ Sauce, or a combination sauces!)
• PRO Tip: To keep fried onion rings warm, place the cooling rack with the onion rings in a 200-degree oven.

BEER-BATTERED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250°F. Set two cooling racks over two rimmed baking sheets.
• Cut onions crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices and separate into rings. Reserve small inner rings for another use. Add 1 cup flour to a large bowl. Toss rings in flour and let sit 30 minutes.
• When ready to fry, whisk together remaining 2 cups flour, cornstarch, garlic and onion powder, cayenne, sugar and salt in a large bowl. In another large bowl, whisk together the beer, water, and egg. Gradually whisk the dry mixture to the wet mixture.
• Heat an inch of oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until it registers 350°F on a deep fry/candy thermometer. Working in batches to prevent crowding, dredge the onion rings in the batter and immediately drop into the oil. Cook onion rings, turning once, until golden, about 3 minutes total. Transfer cooked rings to the cooling racks set over the baking sheets. Sprinkle with salt and keep warm in oven while frying remaining batches.

BEER BATTERED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl combine flour, egg, parsley, garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper. Gradually add beer, stirring, until a thick batter forms. Add more or less beer depending on the desired consistency of the batter.
• In a heavy frying pan heat oil (adjust amount, depending on the size of your pan, so that you have a couple of inches of oil) over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, dip onions in batter and fry, turning once to brown evenly on both sides. Drain on paper towels.

FANTASTIC ONION RING BATTER

Steps:

• Soak onion rings in a bowl of ice water for 1 hour; drain and pat dry with paper towels.
• Whisk 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour, milk, egg, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and salt together in a bowl until smooth.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Dip onion rings in the batter, working in batches, until evenly coated and arrange in 1 layer on a plate.
• Fry the battered onion rings, working in batches, until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer fried onion rings to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon.

ONION RINGS

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat the oil to 375 degrees F.
• Pour the beer into a medium bowl and stir in the vodka. Slowly whisk in 1 teaspoon paprika and 1 cup flour. The batter should be fairly thick (to coat the onion rings before frying) but also easy to stir. Set aside in a warm place.
• Gather the onion rings in a medium bowl and use a small strainer to sprinkle it with remaining 2 tablespoons paprika. Toss to blend.
• Prepare a baking sheet fitted with a kitchen towel to drain the onion rings as they come out of the oil. Stir the batter slightly. To test the consistency of the batter and the temperature of the oil, put an onion ring on a slotted spoon and submerge it completely in the batter. It should coat the piece lightly. If the batter is too thick, add a little water to thin it out. If the batter is too thin, sift and whisk in a little more flour.
• Dip the onion ring in the batter, drain the excess batter, and use a slotted spoon or a pair of kitchen tongs to lower the onion ring into the oil. It should bubble slightly and the onion should gradually rise to the top. Fry until light brown, 2 to 3 minutes, and transfer them to the kitchen towel. Fry the onions in small batches. Season with salt and serve immediately.

ONION RINGS IN BEER AND VODKA BATTER

Steps:

• First, peel the onions, cut them into 1/2-inch slices, and separate them into rings. Put them into a freezer for 1 hour in a zipper-lock bag.
• Then, thaw the onion rings with tepid running water. Drain thoroughly on paper towels or kitchen cloth. Remove the membrane from each ring and set aside.
• In a large bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and paprika. In another bowl, mix beer and vodka.
• Now, slowly pour in the beer and vodka mixture into the flour mixture, stirring constantly. Adjust the amount of liquid, so the density of the batter resembles a thick paint.
• Heat the oil to 375˚F in a large wok or a Dutch oven.
• Meanwhile, dip the onion rings into the batter, let the excess batter drip off, and gently place the onions into the hot oil.
• Fry the rings for 2 minutes, then turn them over and fry for 2 more minutes.
• Drain the onion rings on paper towels, season with salt, and serve.

BAKED BEER BATTERED ONION RINGS

• Combine flour, salt, paprika, and pepper in a medium bowl.
• Stir in beer and egg white (batter will be thick).

• Coat the onion rings with cooking spray.
• Bake at 400° for 10 minutes or until crisp.
• Note: Unless for some unknown reason you have an open can of beer in your refrigerator, try this simple way to flatten the suds you need for this batter.
• Measure 1/2 cup beer in a small bowl, and stir with a fork.
• You're left with about 1/3 cup flat beer.
