Ingredients
  

  • 2 whole Large yellow onions Sliced into 1/2-inch thick rings
  • 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
  • 12 oz Cold beer Lager or pale ale preferred
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Salt Plus extra for finishing
  • 0.5 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 quart Vegetable oil For deep frying
  • 0.5 cups Ketchup For serving

Instructions
 

  • Peel the onions, slice them into 1/2-inch thick rings, and carefully separate the layers.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  • Gradually pour the cold beer into the dry ingredients, whisking gently until just combined. A few lumps are fine.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off, and carefully lower it into the hot oil.

  • Remove from oil, drain on a wire rack or paper towels, and season immediately with additional salt. Serve hot with ketchup.
