These crispy, beer-battered onion rings will definitely disappear quickly. For extra oniony flavor, don't soak the onions in water for too long. I like to use yellow onions in this recipe, but feel free to use a sweet onion or red onion for an extra punchy ring.

Ingredients

Miss Brown's House Seasoning:

Directions

Special equipment:
a deep-fry thermometer
  1. Pour enough oil to reach 2 inches up the sides of a Dutch oven. Heat the oil to 375 degrees F.
  2. Place the onions in enough cold water to cover. Set aside.
  3. Whisk together the flour, House Seasoning and beer in a medium bowl. Let stand 10 minutes.
  4. Remove the onions from the water, shaking off the excess. Working one at a time, dredge the onions in the cornstarch and then in the beer batter. Add the battered onions to the hot oil and cook in batches until browned and crispy, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt while they are still hot.
