Ingredients
Onion Rings

• 1 large Spanish onion, sliced into 1-cm (1/2-inch) rounds and separated into rings (if desired, set aside the small centre rings for another use)
• 1/4 cup cornstarch

Beer Batter

• 1 cup pastry flour
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup pale ale (or whatever beer you want! I usually use belgium beers (blue moon!)
• Oil for frying

Cooking Time!
Onion Rings

   1. Preheat the deep fryer to 190°C (375°F). Place a cooling rack on a baking sheet or line a baking sheet with paper towels.
   2. In a paper bag or large bowl, toss the onion rings in the cornstarch to coat well. Set aside.

Preparing Batter

   1. In a bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt. Whisk in the beer.

   2. Using your fingertips or a wooden chopstick, dip the rings in the batter, 4 or 5 at a time. Shake off excess batter and deep-fry for about 3 minutes, turning half way through cooking. Drain on the baking sheet. Season lightly with salt. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Happy Eats! :)
