A favorite recipe, using our Amber Ale to tie it all together!
Amber Ale Onion Rings
Serving Size: 5-6 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups flour
- 1/3 cup salt
- 1 TBS cornstarch
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp cayenne
- 3 ½ cups Amber Ale
- 2 quarts vegetable oil (for frying)
- 3 white or yellow onions, cut into thick rings (about ½ inch to 1 inch thick)
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large pot to 350˚F. If you don’t have a frying or candy thermometer, you can test the oil with a small amount of the batter, if the batter fries up golden brown in 1-2 minutes the oil is good for frying.
- Mix all dry ingredients together.
- Add Amber Ale to dry ingredients, if mixture is too thick, add more Amber Ale. The mixture should be similar in consistency to cake batter.
- Put the onions into the batter, ensuring even coverage around all of the rings.
- Fry the onion rings in the 350˚F oil for 1 ½ to 2 minutes, or until a deep golden brown.
- Pull the onion rings out of the oil and let them drain on a plate with some paper towel to soak up excess oil.
- Sprinkle a little salt over them and enjoy with your favorite sauces and an Amber Ale.
Serve hot and crispy with your favorite sauces and a Bell’s Amber Ale.
