Fiesta Fried Onion Rings
For Christmas 2019 my Mom gave me a cookbook, specifically 'Cooking With Beer' recipe card set and that is where this recipe comes from. This sounds very good, on my to make and taste list.
Ingredients
- 2 large white onions
- 1 cup club soda
- 1/2 cup beer
- 1 egg white, whisked until frothy
- 2 1/4 - 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour, divided
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 packet chili seasoning mix, about a 1.24 oz packet, divided
- cooking oil, for frying, as needed
- 1 cup queso sauce, or cheese sauce, for serving
Instructions
- Slice onions into 1/2 inch slices and separate into rings, set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the club soda, beer, egg white until well combined.
- Add 1 1/2 cups flour, the cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons of the chili seasoning mix. Stir until well combined then let sit for 15 minutes.
- Add 1-2 inches of oil to a large saucepan and heat to 180 C (350 F). While the oil is heating, line a baking sheet with paper towels.
- Place 3/4 cup of flour in a shallow dish. Dip each onion ring into the flour, coat and evenly shake off excess flour (use an additional 1/4 of flour if needed).
- Dip floured onion rings in small batches into the prepared batter, and let the excess batter to drain off.
- Carefully lower rings into the hot oil using a long handled fork, skewer, or tongs. Fry 3 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
- Repeat deep frying the rings until all are cooked.
