How To: Make Beer Battered Onion Rings

Sorry for the lack of updates! Been mugging overnight to dawn for my upcoming exams and wake up only in the evening and be a couch potato for the rest of the day before I start mugging again at night :/
Anyway, i made some good beer battered onion rings today and thought i should share my recipe! :) I gave the recipe a little twist and it's only in 10 simple easy steps!

What you need:

300grams of all-purpose flour OR 100gram of self-raising + 200 grams of plain flour
5 yellow onions
30 plain crackers pounded
1 egg (separated)
3 teaspoon of salt
4 tablespoon of unsalted butter (room temperature)
1 bottle (the small bottle not the large one) of good beer that you like
Tip: Don't buy a random one as you may not like the taste

Instructions:

1) Cut the onions about an inch thick and remove the rings

2) Sift the flour into the mixing bowl and add the egg yolk and mix it.

3) Add in 3 teaspoon of salt and 4 tablespoon of unsalted butter in and continue mixing it until it forms into mini dough-like

4) Gradually add in the beer until the texture is like below

5) Leave the batter for about 15-30 minutes

6) Pour all the rings into the batter and use a fork to ensure all rings are covered in batter

7) Use the fork and place it in the plate of pounded crackers

8) Use a different fork to cover the batter with crackers

9) With the hot oil in pan, fry them until they are golden brown

10) Place 3 paper towels over a plate to let it soak the oil and you're ready to serve!

There might be remaining batter but you can simply store it and keep it refrigerated for about 3-4 days? I'm not too sure as well but if you keep longer than that, make sure it's not spoilt before using it again.


The onions were so juicy and it tasted sooooo good! (Y)
