Ingredients

  • 2 vidalia or yellow onion medium to large size
  • 1 quart oil for frying vegetable, canola or peanut
  • 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cup beer

Instructions

  • Cut off the ends of the onions. Peel back the skin and first layer. Cut rings about 1/4-1/2 inch thick. Separate the rings and set aside.
  • In a skillet add the oil, the oil should come up to about 2-3 inches deep. Heat the oil until it reaches 350 degrees.
  • While the oil is heating up, in a bowl add the flour, cornstarch, paprika, cajun seasoning, garlic powder and salt. Mix together. Add in the beer and mix together until there are no lumps. The batter should be a thick consistency but not too thick and not too runny.
  • Dip the onion into the batter and shake off any excess. Begin to fry the onion rings in batches. Don't overcrowd the pan. The rings should be golden brown and take about 4 minutes to cook. Flip them halfway.
  • Let the onion rings cool and drain on some paper towels. Eat and enjoy!
