Beer Batter Onion Rings

These are so easy to make. They taste better than frozen onion rings. It does take time to deep fry them. I use sweet onions and make my own batter from beer, flour, baking powder, cornmeal, and seasonings. Just season to taste.

I don’t make them very often because I am only cooking for two people, it is a nice treat, and they can be frozen to be heated up in the oven at a later date. The onion rings can be placed a container or bag and will keep in the freezer for a month. I never had them longer than that because we will grab them for a snack.

This beer batter is good for frying fish and other vegetables.
