Onion Rings

Anyone ever make onion rings at home? Any favorite batter recipes or tips?

I love onion rings. Maybe Kraft will start making them so I can have them instead of macaroni and cheese once in a awhile. [beg.gif]

Blech…the Devil’s food.

I can offer you something even better!

Oh good, I’ll put them in a Kraft box, sprinkle them with bacon bits and he’ll be a happy camper !
I love onion rings and use to have a good beer batter recipe for them but haven’t made them in years.

LOVE Onion rings…LOVE them…don’t have a recipe, but there is a place here in ATL (FLIP) that does tempura, vodka, with a touch of sesame seeds in there.

Oh man, that sounds outrageous!

One of my favorite foods! I never turn them down…

But I bet a pain to make at home?

Damn you with your avatar.

That pic of onion rings as my avatar is from BLT… One of their side dishes, I could eat them daily…

Not so hard. Make a batter of flour and water. Or add beer or buttermilk. Take your thick cut onions, douse with some flour, dip in some batter, fry away. I have only done them once, and they turned out a lot better than I expected. I supposed I could go flour, egg, flour, batter to try and make something that would hold on better. But it pretty much worked.

Adding on to Eric’s recipe…I added a bit of beer (carbonated water also works) and sweet paprika to the batter. Turned out delicious. That said, I have only made them once…once.

Deep frying is just a messy business on the stovetop. Sometimes a deep fryer sounds like a good idea.

Boy, those onion rings of Leah’s look perfect! They look so light, if that’s possible.

Thanks for the tips, Eric and Jorge. I didn’t think it would be as simple as dredging in flour! I will try it as soon as I spot some Walla Walla onions around town.

And I will be standing by with first aid kit, fire extinguisher, mop, and Rolaids.

I would just like to point out that only one of us has actually set a person on fire in our kitchen, and it wasn’t me [whistle2.gif]
