Beer Battered Onion Rings


Description:
I've had this recipe for some time & finally got around to making it tonight. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. It rated much better in my books than different recipes I've tried in past. The batter was very light and extremely crispy, and didn't go at all soggy.

Ingredients:
1 cup flour
1 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
Egg (or egg replacer equivalent of one egg)
3 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 12-oz. beer
3 large sweet onions, sliced into rings
Vegetable oil for frying



Directions:
•In a medium bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

•Add the egg, oil, and beer and stir until just combined.

•Dip the onion rings into the batter, then drop them into hot vegetable oil (about 365°F).

•Cook in batches, until golden and crispy (about 2-3 mins), then remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.

  5. I LOVE onion rings. But can I ask is there any particular brand of beer I should use? I don't drink beer at all, but I see it is used in some recipes.
