Fried onion rings are a great appetizer or side dish for grilled meat. Before putting the onion in the oil, dip it in the batter - depending on the composition of the dough, the dish will taste differently.
Onions in beer dough
Try the delicious onion rings in a batter made with light beer. The dough prepared according to this recipe turns out to be airy and very light, it has a pleasant bread aroma.
You will need:
- 4 large onions;

- salt;
- vegetable oil for frying.
Peel the onion and cut it into neat rings. Pour some flour into a bowl and roll the onions in it. Separate the yolks and grind together with salt, beer and remaining flour. Whisk the whites into a strong foam and add portions to the flour, stirring gently.
Heat unscented vegetable oil in a deep frying pan. Check its doneness by tossing a piece of bread into the pan. If it browns quickly, the deep fat is ready. Dip the onion rings in the batter one by one so that the dough is evenly distributed, let the excess drain off, and then put the onion in deep fat. When the rings are browned, remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel lined plate to drain off excess fat.
