Up your snack and side dish game with a crowd-friendly recipe for hot, crispy Beer-Battered Onion Rings.
Nothing beats the winter blues quite like a hot tub … of bubbling oil. Your Super Bowl menu has likely taken shape at this point (don’t forget the Nutella Chocolate Football Truffles!), but for all those looking to add a hot, crunchy, salty snack to the lineup, look no further than homemade Beer-Battered Onion Rings.
These circuitous golden brown beauties are an easy treat, starring a pale ale beer batter and thick slices of sweet onion. The carbonation in the beer leads to the lightest, crispiest breading, while a touch of paprika provides a deep golden hue. (Pro Tip: Not a beer fan? Sub in any other carbonated beverage, including ginger ale, club soda or your favorite soft drink!)
After a quick soak in the stovetop jacuzzi, they’re seasoned and served hot with your choice of dipping sauces.
Opt for a side of homemade spicy ketchup to keep your taste buds on their toes. Then sit back and tune in to the tube as you wash them down with (another) cold one. Now you can have your beer, and eat it, too.

Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 1/2 cups (12 ounces) pale ale beer (See Kelly's Notes)
- 2 large yellow or Vidalia onions
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Spicy ketchup, for dipping (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of flour with the paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Whisk in the beer until the mixture is well combined. Let the batter rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- While the batter rests, cut the tip off of the stem side of the onions then remove the peel. Slice the onions horizontally into 1/2-inch-thick rings and toss them with the remaining ½ cup of flour.
- Add the vegetable oil to a large, heavy-bottomed pot (Dutch oven) to a depth of 2 inches and heat it over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 375°F.
- Working in batches, dip the onion rings into the prepared batter, shaking off any excess, then immediately drop them into the hot oil. Be careful not to overcrowd the pot. Allow the onions to cook in the oil, flipping them once to guarantee even browning, for a total of about 3 minutes. Remove the onions with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate. Immediately season them with salt. Repeat the coating and frying process, returning the oil to 375°F between batches, with the remaining onions.
Kelly's Notes:
- When measuring beer, don't include the foamy head in your measurement. Pour it down the side of the liquid measuring cup (to minimize the head), and then measure the liquid part only.
- Not a beer fan? Sub in any other carbonated beverage, including ginger ale, club soda or your favorite soft drink.
- Shake off as much of the excess batter as possible when coating the onion rings in order to get the best ratio of onion to batter.

Recipe by Kelly Senyei of JustaTaste.com.
highlight of our onion nite
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Fantastic! I make this recipe all the time for my family when we do app night! The batter fries up so nice and crispy. Best recipe I’ve found.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Mitzi!
Made these onion rings for Super Bowl they were great!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Marcia!
I like to fry my rings in either duck fat or pork lard that I have previously cooked carnitas in . Talk about awesome!!
Brilliant idea, Fernando!
I used to go to a local sandwich shop for a pastrami sandwich and also for their onion rings. I thought that their rings were the best I have tasted….until now. I made your recipe and was blown away with the flavor, crispy texture and ease of making them. Instead of spending $7 for the store bought rings, I think I spent about $1. A new favorite place to get my rings…my house!
I love this so much, Cliff! Thrilled you are enjoying the recipe.
OH MY GOSH!! These were the best onion rings I have ever had!! Sliced my onions and put in ziplock bag, shake up with corn starch, let sit. Battered rings & let as much drip off as possible. Fry in hot oil at 375 in batches, about 1/2 an onion at a time. Fry 4 mins. Onions are perfectly done. Coating is SO crisp and light but not too light…much better than other recipes calling for eggs or baking powder. This recipe is perfect. Dipping sauce not even necessary… and I Always dip my rings. Also they aren’t greasy at all. Soooo good! Unbelievably good!!
Awesome! I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed the recipe, Joey!
FAB and CRUNCHY! The best ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woohoo! So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Jan!
Best onion rings EVER!!
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Lawrence!
Haven’t made yet, but I’m sure they are delicious. Unfortunately we’re out of beer at the moment, but I’m wondering if you sub with soda such as ginger ale, etc., would they come out significantly sweet? I can’t imagine we’d be big fans of that type of flavor if so. Has anyone tried it?
Hi Kelly! Yes, you can absolutely sub in ginger ale!
Love the recipe, quick and easy… I had misplaced an old one I had used years back and this sounded almost exactly the same. The rings turned out perfect! I did soak my rings in buttermilk and then dried them off before coating with flour and dredging (only because that’s how I’ve always done it, learned that from Mom).
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Garnet!
I made the batter gluten free with gf beer
Omg haven’t had onion in 10 years. Will be making these way to often!!!
The batter stays on the onion
I’m in love
I made onion rings for the first time and used this recipe. I had a lot of walla walla onions. We had a crowd of 11. I made them outside using a camp stove and Dutch oven. Doubled the recipe. They were wonderful!!! Our guests ate them as fast as I could fry them. Every one of them raved about the flavor. I’ll definitely be making them again.
So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Helen!
Loved these! Great flavor – salt immediately after frying really enhances the flavor, and a dash of cayenne in dry mix before adding the liquid gives a little extra pop. Nice and crunchy/crispy. Jalapeño or horseradish aioli are also my faves for dipping.
Woohoo! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Heather!
Awesome onion rings! This is now my go to recipe!
Woohoo! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Betty!
This is my go to onion ring batter. 5 starts
Love reading this, John! I’m thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe!
is the 2 tsp of salt all go in the batter or does that include the salt for sprinkling after?
Hi Dawn! It all goes in the batter :)
Fantastic recipe, I use the batter for deep fried fish as well and it turned out great
YUM! I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying the beer-batter, Duane!
Oh my gosh! These onion rings were delicious. I am going to using this recipe again. The batter stayed in the rings. Perfect recipe.
Woohoo! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Cindy!
Used a handful of times now for my electric deep fryer. Batter sticks great, and is tasty! Works great with pickles and calamari rings too (pat them dry first).
Yessss! I’m so thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Aaron!
I don’t normally leave comments, but…
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe, mom loved your onion rings & so do I & whenever I make these I think of my mom enjoying them so much, I always make these for gatherings & get rave reviews… thanks…
Thank you so much, Robert! Thrilled you’re enjoying the recipe!
Thank you for the recipe. It is a fantastic batter! I’ve had so many comments: “These are the best onion rings I have ever had!”
The magic must be in the simplicity of ingredients.
It’s also great with deep fried green beans and both sweet and dill pickles.
YUM! I’m so happy you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Johnny!
Very good. Added a couple tablespoons of powdered sugar because I like sweet batter.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Brian!
Oh my.. these are insanely simple and frankly the best o-ring I’ve had. basically FOREVER… Really, A+ .. Thank You
You are so welcome, Paul! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
very simple recipe and very delicious onion rings
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
I AM SO EXCITED TO TRY THESE ONION RINGS. I ASSUME MY DEEP FRYER WILL SUFFICE. THANKS FOR ALL THE OTHER RECIPES, AS WELL. I HAVE REALLY ENJOYED YOUR POST. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! PAM
I hope you enjoy the onion rings, Pam!
Fantastic recipe, thanks a lot for sharing! We don’t get as much onion rings in Switzerland like you guys in US and is therefore fantastic to have a great home experience. I followed exactly your instructions and it works out perfectly!
You are so welcome, Martin! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
This is my first time making onion rings and they did not disappoint! These are VERY easy to make and the batter is so light and fluffy on the rings. The batter stayed solid around the onion rings throughout the whole process. Will definitely make this again!
This is what I love to read, Derek! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
These were lovely! I used corona lager as that’s all we had in terms of fizzy beer/lager. Also added onion powder as the salt replacement as I put salt as seasoning once they are cooked.
Awesome! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Babs!
These were amazing! The whole family loved them and I’ll definitely be making them again. Thank for the recipe!
You are so welcome, Emma! I’m thrilled your family enjoyed the onion rings!
PS do you have a thermometer that you like? I didn’t see one listed on your “store” page.
Yes! I like the Thermoworks Thermapen.
Hi Kelly –
Have you ever tried to make this using shallots? Would that work? I realize they wouldn’t be “rings” but wonder if it might work (I have a TON of shallots! Might be a great way to enjoy them).
I haven’t tried it but should work!
Made these with our fish and chips and they are delicious. They keep their crisp through the whole meal. My only change was to sub in 1/2 cup of cornstarch for 1/2 cup of the flour. Will be my go to recipe from now on.
Awesome! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Kathleen!
why is the breading frying off of my onions?? They are not coming out of the oil looking covered. The crispy part is literally coming off of my onions.
Hi there! Did you prep the onions as directed in the recipe?
Very easy – great taste with the paprika and garlic powder included. Worked beautifully as a side to Steak & Chips.
Awesome! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Adam!
Your recipe worked very well. I did make one change. Rather than use all flour for the batter, I substituted 1/2 cup of flour with 1/2 cup of corn starch. I use cornstarch in all my fried food coatings. It makes the batter lighter and more crispy once fried. Otherwise, I didn’t make a change and the onion rings were delicious. I made my own dipping sauce of equal parts mayonnaise and catsup with a teaspoon of dijon mustard and a couple dashes of tabasco. I also needed to cook the rings for an extra 30-40 seconds as the temperature wouldn’t recover quickly enough and the coating was a tad doughy next to the onion. The extra time fixed that! Thank you
Amazing! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Keith!
Best Recipe for Onion Rings!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Stefaine!
Hi Kelly, I’ve made the recipe but instead of beer I substituted to three parts of white wine vinegar and one part water and substituted the paprika to cayenne pepper instead cause didn’t have any paprika. I halved the recipe and still putted two teaspoons of salt in the batter so to make salt and vinegar battered onion rings. Salt and vinegar onion rings that’s something different isn’t it Kelly and thought you’d like to try them as well Kelly. Mostly I tasted the vinegar then the salt. Tasted delicious
Thank you Kelly!
Awesome! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Kevin!
These were AMAZING! Super easy to follow and turned out exactly like the photo. Everyone I made these for was raving about them. Crispy and delicious and the onion didn’t slide out when you bite into them like some onion rings do. Will be making these again for sure.
Love, love, LOVE reading this, Kyra! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Very light batter and vidalia onions, you can’t go wrong!! Give recipe a try. Delicious.
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Ciao Mi piace
This one was great! A few suggestions I would make is add a ton more seasonings so you can taste them. 2nd would be, after you have the dry ingredients the way you want, throw the onions in and toss, remove to a plate. Then mix in the beer. Go slow so it won’t be too thin depending on how you like it. Use common sense.
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Jon!
This was an excellent recipe. Other than cutting it in half since there were only 2 of us (we will however eat them all!) followed it exactly and they were amazing!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Kim!
Excellent!!! Looked up beer batter onion rings as a last minute idea and found this one. I added a little extra garlic because, well because we love garlic lol. I also added 1tablespoon of ground Chipotle Powder, they had just the right kick to them. Oh I also used a stout (Guinness) beer to give it that extra flavor.
Love reading this, Steve! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Completely enjoyed this recipe. Tried too many others in the past with ZERO success. Thank you for posting this, we all think it’s awesome!
You are so welcome, Mark! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Had a very traumatic week my daughter thought I needed a pick up so did your recipe but used Guinness instead of pale ale with a fillet steak Wow
I’m glad you enjoyed the onion rings, Kath, but more importantly, I hope you have a better week. :)
I too used Guinness instead of ale, made them very good
I liked it but not enough flavour taste better with the just adding meat seasoning but other than that it turned out okay
I’m sorry you didn’t completely enjoy the recipe, Arthur.
Very light, nice onion rings.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Mae!
First time making homemade onion rings and they turned out amazing! Thanks for the great recipe. I used red onion because that’s what I had and we’re still delicious.
Woohoo! I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe, Kyle!
Ive been making these for years. It’s a great go to recipe when you want to have something other then french fries….I’ve actually used this to batter jalapenos…very good too…just use jarred jalapenos pat dry a lil n follow all your same steps…. yum…for a great dipping sauce try mixing up some homemade ranch dressing with some chopped up or food processor some Chipotles in adobo n mix in the ranch with about a half a tsp of chili seasoning packet n a tiny bit of oregano…..soooo good….goes great with these onion rings:)
What a great idea with the jalapeños, Amber! So glad you’re enjoying the recipe!
I always felt like no recipe could match the restaurant made beer battered fried onion rings, until I found this recipe. WOW! I liked the use of Pale ale beer, the tangy taste of it. I did not find the batter thick. I just shaked off the batter until the onion rings were lightly coated, like Tempura frying. Dusting the onion rings in flour prior to the batter bath was a good step; it removed the moisture, and allowed better adhesion for the batter to coat the onions. I had the onions sitting in the flour in a sealed plastic container as I heated up the oil, and gave it a final toss then into the batter. When I eat the onion ring you get a tender onion bite, unlike fast food onion rings the onions slides out from the fried batter coating. Overall a 5 Star rating, and a keeper. My family loved it! Thank you for sharing.
LOVE reading this, Miles! I’m so thrilled you and your family enjoyed the onion rings!
Fantastic recipe!! I used beer and we loved the flavor of the batter. Great mix of spices. Next time I’m going to use my hot paprika for a little kick. I also fried some portabellas with the batter. Outstanding! I’m going to use it for all my battered food. Thanks so much for this wonderful recipe.
Fried mushrooms sound amazing, Susan! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
I am just learning to cook, and this recipe is the most successful thing I have made to date. I substituted the pepper for cayenne pepper, and it made a lovely spicy variant. Thank you for sharing with everyone.
Woohoo! You are so welcome, Rob! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Flavor was outstanding, but the batter is too thin for my liking. I will use turn up the coating a bit by dipping in Panko after the batter. Otherwise, this is a solid recipe.
Thank you for this great recipe! No need to look any further – this is my new favourite recipe! Me and my family loved the onion rings and the directions were easy to follow.
Woohoo! I’m so thrilled your family enjoyed the recipe, Taryn!
Great….don’t cut onions too thin or you won’t get a good onion bite. Batter was light and yummy. I put then in my convention oven at 250 while I cooked beer battered fish and they stayed really crisp. Definitely will use this recipe again.
Awesome! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, AJ!
This recipe is perfect. I soak the rings in buttermilk first and also add a little of it to the batter to thin it a bit. It was perfect! Great recipe! Salt when hot.
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Dean!
why soak them in buttermilk?
Fantastic recipes love your page and site with all your recipes making the onion rings Sunday big thanks
I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying Just a Taste, Karen!
Easy and delicious with Hatch’s chili cheese brats. Just remember to cook 3 min. each side to brown enough.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Sandra!
Made these tonight halved the recipe, these were amazing better than any I’ve had before, will defo make again.
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Joanne!
Just made your recipe tonight.
It was great!
Woohoo! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the onion rings, Lois!
I wasn’t sure about these at first as I ate one hot and it wasn’t crispy, but after I let them cool slightly they were amazing!! Don’t leave them for too long or they go soggy. You can add a little more beer if the batter is too thick and I shallow fried to save on oil (just flip them halfway through). We’ll be making them again!
Yay! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Ashleigh!
I tried onion peel staining and needed to use up the onions. Found this recipe. Super easy and they were deliscious!
Yay! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Sally!
These were soooo good! I cut the recipe in half for two of us and then cut them in 1/4″ rounds and they cooked super fast and I live at high altitude so added more beer to the batter but super flavorful and the batter was light and crispy!!!
Awesome! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Shelly!
These were so delicious and easy to make! I put these on top of burgers and dipped them in some chipotle Mayo. Thank you for the great recipe
YUM! I’m so happy that you enjoyed the recipe, Cat!
Very good. Added a little more beer to thin down. Nice and crispy and held very well while frying the rest of the batch.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
I don’t have beer,soda water or ginger ale. I do have Mtn. Dew. What do you think?
That could be interesting! Let me know how they turn out if you give it a shot, Mindi!
The onion rings came out amazing!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Maggie!
Delicious! Easy to make and delivers that restaurant level flavor and crispiness. Will never buy a frozen bag of onion rings again.
I used 2 large regular white onions since that’s what i had in the refrigerator and a bottle of Sam Adams beer….. so easy and yummy. More than enough for two people. Definitely will be making this again.
Thanks Kelly!
You are so welcome, Barbara! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Awesome! Tried these (and I’m not cook!), and they were easy and delicious!
Woohoo! I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe, David!
Our neighbors brought us fresh onions from the field, so I made this recipe with Ginger Ale (great idea!) It was delicious! Thanks for the delicious recipe.
Awesome! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
yummy! I used an electric skillet and only about 1 inch oil (Crisco) – so I extended cooking time to about 10 minutes per batch. Amazing recipe! I used Racer 5 IPA. I also did fried pickles. YUMMMMMM.
Amazing! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Alicia!
Batter had no flavour. Onion rings no taste. Wouldn’t recommend. Mess for a disappointment.
I’m so sorry you didn’t enjoy the recipe. What kind of beer did you use?
Crispy and light!! Amazing! You have to add salt and pepper to the recipe though.
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Janine!
Kelly, Thank you for the most delicious Beer Battered Onion Rings recipe. Our grown kids, my husband and I all think they are the best onion rings we’ve had!! They are the bomb!!
Woohoo! I’m so happy to read this!
They were the best onion rings ever!!
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Debbie!
Good recipe, but am confused….why measure out 2cups of flour and then use 1 1/2 cups of flour? What did you do with the other 1/2 cup? Am I missing something?
Hi there! The onions are tossed in the remaining 1/2 cup of flour (step 2) before dipping them in the beer batter. I hope that helps!
Yes you are, but it is normal for those not deeply familiar with cooking methods and measurements. (20 years as exec chef and culinary eductor). The 2 cups is TOTAL measure of flour. 1/2 cup for dredging the rings and the rest for the batter. Dredging gives the batter something to stick to on the onion.
Incredible. I was impressed by myself. It was a hit with the family.
Woohoo! This is what I love to read, Beth!
My husband says these are the best onion rings he has ever had! They were perfect and EASY! THANK YOU!!!
Love reading this!
What fun! We love onion rings and have never made them at home….Until now. Great results! Should have made more. Also, I sort of goofed in that I cut the onion well before prepping time and let it sit out too long. RESULTS: The slices and their edges dried out, which prevented the flour from coating the entire onion. Other recipes, read later, suggest a milk bath…I’m adding that step for next time. For now, we’ve special memories of our five star hamburger dinner and your onion rings.
So impressed be we that we purchased your cookbook “The SECRET Ingredient” !
Many Thanks,
JB
Yay! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, JB! Thank you so much for purchasing my cookbook; I hope you enjoy it just as much! :)
This recipe is very good! I would highly recommend it. The batter it tasty and crispy. I did use a regular beer and it still worked perfectly. Try it and enjoy!
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Lorna!
great recipe, but when you make larger amounts the instructions don’t change ( 1 1/2 Cups flour, no matter what the number is
Hi Ryan! Thanks so much for bringing this to our attention. We’re working on a tech fix for the scaling!
Crispy…wondeful….deliciousness!!!!
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Meghan!
Great recipe! Flavorful and crispy
Omg!!! Great recipe. I used it for onion rings,potatoes and now chicken fingers. This is a great and easy recipe. Love it.
Woohoo! I’m thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Lana!
Wow i am blown away I have never made beer battered anything and I’m about to do it with all the things!!! Amazing!!
YESSSS! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Emily!
Easy and delicious recipe.
Would bump up the spices to suit our tastes.
I’ll follow the tip on shaking excess batter before frying.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
The recipe is good. If I make it again, I will cut thicker rings, be careful about shaking off more batter and probably spice it up a bit more for our taste. It is absolutely something I will try again. Thank you.
You are so welcome, Cheryl! I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe!
We LOVED these! I cut them thinner than suggested after watching the documentary “The Ringmaster” and looking for something similar. I used King Arthur Flour, Voodoo Ranger IPA, Vidalia onions and my deep fryer. They came out golden, beautiful and delicious. They were surprisingly light and not greasy. These were the best onion rings I’ve personally ever made. Thank you so much for this recipe!
Woohoo! You are so welcome, Debbie! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe :)
Have made this batter twice for on,rings and turn out Great. Last night made it for our local B.C. spot prawns .Added a little extra salt [because of the sea food} and changed to smoked paprika. Can not stop smiling. Thanks for the help.
I’m so thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe!
Wow!! These were so light and tasty that we couldn’t quit eating them! Best onion rings I’ve ever had. Thanks for the recipe.
You are so welcome, Jamie! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
These were an absolute hit!! They turned out perfectly! Light and crunchy and delicious. My man was so impressed. This recipe is now my go-to for all my battered cooks
I made the onion rings for dinner to go with juicy ribeyes, the onion rings were so fabulous my husband pushed his steak away and said the onion rings were so delicious he couldn’t stop eating them !
WOW! I’m so thrilled you and your husband enjoyed the onion rings, Natalie!
these onion rings are by far the best I’ve ever had! I’ve made them a few times although I find I need to stand over them and do them in batches which means I’m rushing to make the rest of the dinner (usually big burgers). Could I make the onion rings in advance then heat them in the oven?
Hi Julie! Yes, however, the coating might not be as crispy the second time around.
Excellent!!! I made these for the first time for my son-in-law’s birthday, they were a huge hit! Crunchy and perfect. Absolutely the best!!! Thank you!
Woohoo! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Cindy!
Best onion rings I have ever made!
These are to die for!!!!! YUM!!! They turned out perfect!!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Kim!
Onion rings were delicious and easy to make. Will definitely be making more.
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
The recipe is a five star – except I can’t figure out why they were so oily. My oil was at 375-385, I dabbed off excess batter. I did chose to use carbonated water (which I carbonated myself – so no additives). Any ideas why this happened?
Hi Tracy – Did you allow the oil to return to 375°F between batches? And did you fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan?
Excellent, turned out perfect. Thanks for this great recipe
You are so welcome, Susan! I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
This is great little recipe. I had no beer so used tonic water for carbonation. Next time I might put in a bit less of paprika. I will make again next time I decide to fry.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
This is the MOST delicious recipe I have tried! My family also loves them!
I’m so thrilled to read this, Vickie!
This was great! Best ever. Could you use the same batter for cod?
That should work!
Just made this….need to run to the store for more onions. Added a little horseradish
To the ketchup……yummmm Thanks for the recipe….
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Patty!
Wow absolutely delicious!! I made these today for our Super Bowl feast and they turned out crispy, airy, and super flavorful. This will be be my go-to onion ring recipe from now on! I usually don’t care for beer battered onion rings because they usually end up kinda soggy but these changed my opinion on them forever.
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Nat!
Excellent recipe! I made it with ginger beer and used a candy thermometer so I could use olive oil. I fried at an initial temp of 360 and that worked perfectly. Thanks so much.
This recipe is fantastic. The onion rings turned out as good as I was hoping for. Hands down as good as or better than any beer battered onion ring you will order in a restaurant. I am so glad I found this recipe. We will definitely use it again and again.
Love reading this, Lily! I’m so glad you enjoyed the onion rings!
Excellent?……. can you freeze and reheat them?
Yes indeed, however the coating might not be as crispy the second time around.
Thx for the onion rings recipe.
Turned out fantastic and much much better than buying from the grocer!
Will be trying other recipes as well
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Joe!
I took ideas of what I thought was the best of three different recipes. Any one of them would have been good.
You have to work fast when deep frying. Otherwise, the oil gets too hot or starts too cool off if you turn it down. It’s the Yo-Yo effect. I used a candy thermometer.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Chris! A deep-fry thermometer is essential!
Just made them and loved them! I think for my family I will add some heat next time. Thank you!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Debbie!
Delicious super crunchy tasty simple recipe
And everyone loved them making them again as a new family love recipe.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Candice!
Just made them and they were EXCELLENT! Thank you for sharing! My daughter is going to be SO sad she missed these little GEMS! ❤️
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Kelly!
Really good! We used both vidalia and normal yellow onions, and we ended up preferring the plain yellow. The coating was crisp and held its own in the oil, though I wish it had a touch more flavor. Would definitely make it again (though maybe with a few more spices).
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Kaley!
Very good onion rings. We he only reason I gave 4 stars is because batter was too thick, so had to add more liquid, but taste was fantastic. Tonight we are doing the batter with mushrooms.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Connie! Beer-battered mushrooms sound delicious!
Super delicious! The batter was tasty, full of flavor and I’d definitely make these again. I used Heineken Light. You could definitely taste the beer… some beer batters lose the beer/yeast taste. I did have to add more beer as the batter was a bit thick (or next time, I may cut down the amount of flour). What I also did to get an additional crunch is – after dipping it in the batter – rolled it in panko (added paprika and salt) before frying in the pan. As already shared, it came out “super delicious”…. even a few days later when I heated the leftover rings. Would recommend recipe to others.
Awesome! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Noelani!
“Best ever.”
My wife, kids and several friends all said these were better than any restaurant onion rings they ever had. Added a heathy dash of hot paprika, barely registered – they were still sweet and delicious.
I’m so thrilled your family enjoyed the recipe, Brendan!
Absolutely delicious, I’m a 15 year old home cook, this was the first time I’ve made onion rings and everyone in the household loved them, the batter was light and crispy and the onion rings weren’t too greasy after they were pulled out either. All in all I gave this a 5/5 for how easy it was and all the great flavors.
Amazing! I’m so thrilled to read this, Colin!
The best onion rings I’d ever had, I’ll never buy frozen ones again
Love reading this, Faith!
these were very yummy and easy. I used a can of Miller Lite and it was just the right amount and they were delicious.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Brooke!
These are yummy. delicious flavor and the onions were cooked not stringy. I used them the ones we didn’t eat on the spot on my green bean casserole, Just bought some pale ale to use in place of the Coors light I had on hand Christmas.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Carol!
Easy to cook and very tasty
go really well with brisket sandwiches.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Veronica!
My new favorite recipe for batter! Awesome rings! Look forward to trying it on fish.
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, David!
Absolutely delicious! Best onion rings I’ve ever had and I’m picky!
WOW! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Amy!
Easy and a hit for all ages. The leftovers reheat in low oven really well also.
Best recipe! I’ve made it three times already, my husband lives em!!
I’m so happy to read this!
I can’t wait to try these tonight along side our sloppy Joe’s! They look amazing and have fantastic reviews!! I’ll be back to leave mine ;)
I hope you enjoy the recipe, Cara!
These turned out just as I expected- light and crispy. I have leftovers for tomorrow. I just know that when I reheat them in the oven, they will be even crispier. Yum!
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Char!
Tried these for the first time in our new MasterBuilt 10Ltr fryer. The onion rings were a nice golden brown. The batter was on the bland side, though. I’d suggest more salt, and more liquid ro make them less bread-y, and a little less flour. Don’t want to have the batter soak up too much oil. Next time I use this recipe, I’ll adapt it for a lighter, crisper flavor so I can taste more onion than breading. I’ll skip the flour coating before dipping into the batter also, as it made the taste heavier. Good base recipe for tweaking to get a lighter taste.
Thanks for your review, Klar!
Best recipe for onion rings I’ve ever made, so easy. Best tasting onion rings we have ever eaten. Truly restaurant quality, if not better than some restaurants.
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Ok 5 stars for this onion ring batter recipe. This is exactly what I was looking for today.
I had already made a batch of rings today using a recipe from Facebook but it wasn’t a batter type, it was flour mostly. It used buttermilk and egg and then seasoned flour. They were horrid. Tasted like bisquick. So still in the mood, I searched for a better recipe that was a batter vs flour breading and I’m glad I did. This recipe you have here is legit delicious restaurant worthy. For the record, I used land shark beer because that’s what I have but next time I will get a dark ale.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Jay!
Absolutely great. Used Budweiser as that’s what i drink (too much). Super cripsy and super tasty.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Darren!
Unparalleled! If you have only one batter recipe, this tops all others.
Thank you so much! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Jimmy!
Amazing recipe, best onion rings I’ve ever had!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Julie!
All I can say is WOW!!! Could I give 10 stars???These were the best colossal onion rings I’ve EVER had, and that includes upscale restaurant orders!
I mean, WOW, what a fantastic onion rings these turned out to be. I didn’t want to use beer so I substituted sparkling water with carbonation and it worked wonders. Even my husband, who has a very “restaurant quality palate” said it was better than any restaurant could produce. Often times, the onions inside the batter don’t “break off” when you bite into them and “slip out” of the batter but not these! I told my husband and son I was never going to make onion rings any other way than this recipe at home from now on-no restaurant is going to be able to top this now! I’m doomed to be disappointed if I order onion rings at a restaurant from now on!
WOW! Thank you so much for your comment, Josephine! I’m absolutely thrilled you enjoyed the recipe :)
yum
Turned out great. The family really enjoyed the recipe . Crispy and tasty. That is our recipe for rings in the future
Awesome! I’m so thrilled you and your family enjoyed the recipe, Bill!
can you batch cook a large quantity and freeze them
Hi Richard! I haven’t tried freezing these so I’m not sure what the resulting, thawed texture would be.
So good! They were so light and crispy! Thanks for the great recipe, it’s a keeper :)
I’m thrilled you enjoyed it, Maria!
Can I use a wheat free flour to make these?
That should work!
Absolutely delicious. All I had was Coke and it was great.
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the onion rings, Kay!
These are truly restaurant quality. Didn’t want to use my last beer, so I used sparkling water instead. So good!
Amazing! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Justin!
Can I use heineken beer ?
Sure!
Tried these today and they lasted mere minutes! Easy recipe and the batter stays on. I used a sweet yellow onion and Coors Light…..will definately be saving this one.
Awesome! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Jeff!
I’m just wondering can you use any other beer? Like modelo or Dos Equis??
Absolutely!
Awesome batter!!! Did onion rings, green tomatoes and squash from our garden. Turned out delicious!!!
Amazing! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Jeff!
These are the best onion rings ever! We use Michelob Ultra to cut the calories and carbs a bit. I also put in a quarter teaspoon of baking powder to make them even lighter! SOOOOO good!
Woohoo! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Connie!
These were good. It’s the first time that I ever made beer battered onions rings that the coating actually stayed on. I do think that it needs a bit more salt in the batter. You must eat them pretty much right away. We had a dinner delay and, once cold, they got chewy. I will probably make them again with the salt tweak.
How do you keep them warm or warm them up because you are preparing the burgers ? No one here knows how to make the burgers while the onion rings are being made!
Hi Kathy! Place a baking rack on a baking sheet and keep them in a 250F oven, but I wouldn’t warm them for too long (max 20 minutes). Enjoy!
Hi, Can the onion rings be pard fried and frozen for when needed.
Hi Nell! I haven’t tried freezing these so I’m not sure what the resulting, thawed texture would be.
It was delicious. No comparison with onion rings even in a fancy restaurant.
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Marina!
Very good, quick and easy, I used club soda, this is also excellent on shrimp.
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Joe!
My daughter and I made these as there were none to be had at the local shop. They were the perfect accompaniment to our burger and fries dinner and tonic water worked very well as a beer substitute. I don’t think we’ll ever be buying onion rings again as there would be no comparison. These were fantastic!
I’m thrilled you and your daughter enjoyed the recipe, Rach!
can you prepare ahead of time and reheat in the oven?
Hi Wendy – Because these are deep-fried, they really should be served immediately after they’re cooked, so I wouldn’t recommend making them ahead of time.
Brilliant! They worked so so well! It’s a great batter recipe too.
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Kathy!
Omg. Perfect. Crispy not like cake. Simple and straight forward recipe. I will absolutely use again and again for not only onions but fish and other veggies, top notch.
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Great favor and I used this same recipe on cod. Yummy :)
Awesome! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Kimberly!
The were so good. I’d been wanting onion rings and they were perfect for the craving. Will make these again.
Woohoo! I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe, Lori!
Easy and delicious. Ingredients were all all hand.
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Easy, and delicious. I used a lager beer for the onion rings and with hush puppies. Will definitely recommend this recipe.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Could this batter be used with air fryer too – or will it not crisp up like deep fried at all?
I’ve never tried that so I’m not sure!
Delicious and fun to make! I added a little Italian seasoning! Great, and the onions didn’t come out of the breading!
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Stephen!
Crispy, delicious taste.
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Thank you so much for all your great recipes!****
You are so welcome, Teena! I’m thrilled you’ve been enjoying Just a Taste!
Easy recipe to follow. Came out beautiful. I didn’t have all ingredients but still came out good.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Beverly!
Absolutely fantastic. The onions just melt in your mouth and the batter is fantastic. Definitely going to make many times over!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Hope!
Yummo!!!!
Absolutely love these onion rings and I’m very picky about the breading. Definitely making these again over and over. Thank you for posting this recipe.
Woohoo! This is what I love to hear, Julie!
Outstanding recipe. Easy and delicious!
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed it, Mark!
I lost my beer batter onion ring recipe years ago, and this is really close! We loved them! Thanks!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Mary!
I don’t usually leave comments but. these rings were awesome. A friend said they were the best they’ve ever had. The batter was tasty, light and airy. And there is nothing like fresh ingredients, especially Vidalia onions. I used bacon grease for my oil and seltzer water in the batter. I’ll use this recipe again.
Awesome! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Kevin!
thank you for sharing appreciate it they are absolutly the best to make
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
We absolutely loved these, I’m making these again this week.Twice in one week.
Woohoo! I’m thrilled you’re enjoying the recipe, Sylvia!
Do you know if beer does same as baking powder or baking soda in recipe?
Hi Rebecca! Using a leavener would definitely cause rise in the recipe, but it wouldn’t act the same as a carbonated beverage.
My husband loves onion rings and he said these were better than his favorites at a restaurant. Messy….like all frying (at least my frying)….but easy and delicious!
I’m so glad you and your husband enjoyed the recipe, Amy!
good
Just made the onion rings and they turned out crispy and delicious. For half of the recipe, I rolled the battered onion rings in bread crumbs for extra crispness but I like your recipe more.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Liliane!
Can you use corn starch instead of flour?
I haven’t tried that but it *should* work!
Made these tonight with two Vidalia onions and a Pilsner beer. The result was a good balance between tender and crunchy with just the right amount of seasoning. Everyone loved them. As an added bonus, I battered and fried the centers of the onions too Instead of tossing them. Our younger son described them as melt-in-your-mouth onion nuggets. This is just a great recipe!
Woohoo! I’m so thrilled you and your family enjoyed the recipe, Mike!
Used the batter today for jalapeno straws and onion rings. Used a lime beer. Everyone enjoyed! .
So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Gabrielle!
Awesome recipe. I just finished making some and they were very delicious I used a can of Bud Light beer.
So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Susie!
Wonderful recipe. So important to keep temp at 375 for best results. Batter only lasted through one really large onion. Will definitely make these every time we have burgers. A few between the burger and the bun were a nice touch.
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Sharon!
Loved them. Made enough and shared with neighbor and they loved them asked for recipe. Even picky kids liked them.
So glad you enjoyed the recipe, John!
Not a very accomplished cook but a foodie.
This recipe was simple. The results? Amazing.
I was happier than Tom Hanks after building a fire…
haha! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Made these onion rings yesterday for a family gathering. They were the best onion rings I have ever made. My son in law who hates onion rings liked these too.
Woohoo! I’m so glad everyone enjoyed the recipe, Lisa!
Loved this recipe!!! We used Organic gluten free flour with organic energy drink ginger ale…will be making these again, along with the same battered jalapeño coins! GREAT FIND!!!
Awesome! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Leslie!
My 5 year old and I enjoyed making them as much as we enjoyed eating them. After he tasted one we had a dance party in our kitchen! He was singing, “I’m dancing with my onion ring, my onion ring!” And he didn’t miss a bite!
Love this! So thrilled you and your son enjoyed the onion rings, Susan!
Just made these onion rings and they were delicious!! I have quite a lot of left over batter – does it freeze? aAnd if not how long does it keep?
Thanks for a great recipe!
So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Rachel! I’ve never tried freezing the batter, but my concern is that you’d lose the carbonation so the thawed batter wouldn’t result in nearly as crispy/light/airy rings as the original batch.
We tried the onion rings today. They were delicious! My husband normally doesn’t eat onion rings but he loved them! I over cooked a few but they were still delicious! Some of them got “cold”…still delicious! I’ve been cooking for 45 years and this is the best onion ring recipe by far! Thank you!
Yay! I’m so thrilled you and your husband enjoyed the onion rings, Serina!
First time making onion rings and these were soooooo good! My husband approved too. I got the batter a little thick on some pieces so that is something I have to watch. I may also try adding a little sugar to the batter next time.
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Kat!
This was amazing! I used roasted garlic powder and smoked paprika and it was so flavorful and crispy!
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Jen!
Absolutely delicious and very easy and quick. My grown son is not a fan of onion rings. He loved these. Thank you.
Thrilled to hear this, Marga!
Love the beer batter! My onions that I had on hand were a bit too mild so I put some dehydrated chopped onions in the batter, that worked, next time I make them will check that I get a little more punch in the onion.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Theresa!
These are delicious!!!!
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Yvette!
Best home made ones I’ve made
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Robert!
Love this recipe! We would get Onion Ring basket from our local hamburger place and NOW I can just make it on my own! We used smaller onions and my son thought they were curly fries and ate them! I don’t have paprika so a shake of red chili powder.
Woohoo! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Karen!
The best onion rings I have ever had (if I do say so myself). They were absolute perfection.
AMAZING! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Devora!
Really easy and turned out great. Making this my new go to recipe for onion rings.
Yay! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Faith!
Insane! So yummy! Highly recommend! Family all loved them!
I’m thrilled to hear this, Grace!
My son was hungry and wanted onion rings. My husband came across this recipe and we tried it. They were amazing! The batter cooked up very well and was not doughy on the inside. Printing the recipe and recommending it to everyone to try!
Amazing! I’m so thrilled you and your family enjoyed the recipe, Barb!
Made these today, they were so fluffy
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Vanessa!
Best onion rings ever
WOW! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Lily!
My whole family loves these! So crispy and delicious!
I’m so thrilled to hear this, Heather!
The best Onion ring recipe ever. I’ve made it 4 times this month and it’s is consistently perfect and easy too!
Woohoo! I’m thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Donna!
Love this!
I used up some red onions I had left over. I didn’t want them to go bad so I used your recipe. My husband loved them. Fantastic and I’ll be making them again. Great snack and side!!
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Great recipe and the best onion ring recipe we have had including out to dinner! Everyone loved it and would definitely recommend!
Amazing! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Malissa!
You won’t find better onion rings anywhere. We have been making these for 10 years— the only recipe we use. Love them!!
WOW! I’m so thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe all these years!
The looked and tasted incredible! I just used MIller Lite because that was in the fridge but I think the beer’s bubbling is the important component.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Sharon!
First timer on this adventure. Served a large family gathering and they all said this recipe was a keeper!
Awesome! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Paula!
Would like to try this recipe, but unfamiliar with the beer ingredient. Can you name some specific beer brands?
Hi Jackie – I used a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale for this recipe but any brand of pale ale will work great!
FIrst time I’ve ever made onion rings. DELICIOUS! I did soak them in an ice water bath to help remove that layer of skin that can make it hard to bite through without getting the whole onion in one go. Definitely recommend that step!
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, JoJo!
delicious!!!!
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Diana!
Can these be cooked in an air fryer? Do you have any hints for success?
Hi Teresa! I’ve never tried making these in an air fryer, however, I do have a Crispy Baked Onion Rings recipe that you may be interested in: https://www.justataste.com/crispy-baked-onion-rings-recipe/ :)
These were amazing. Crisp, tender, light, not greasy at all. I added a little cayenne to the mix and gave the sliced onions an ice water bath prior. It removes the skins that can get tough and chewy. Just dry them before dredging in flour.
Excellent! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Diane!
Can this recipe be used with an air fryer?
I’ve tried that so I’m not sure!
Can you use coconut flour of almond flour?
Hi Jill – I’ve never tried this recipe with coconut or almond flour but either *should* work. Let me know if you give it a shot!
Awesome!! Forget all those complicated beer batter recipes that require egg yolks n this n that! Ur recipe very simple but amazing! Equal parts dry to wet n few tsp of seasoning! 1 tip though is to substitute upto half of the flour with cornstarch for a lighter crispier batter!
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Stan!
Used your recipe in the uk.
Only changed the beer to Hobgoblin ale.
They were amazing and a big hit…even with my daughter who ‘doesn’t like onion rings’ :-)
Thanks
Dave from Kent
So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Dave!
made these tonight, these are the best onion rings that I have ever made, nice and crispy not like others I mad in the past that went soggy. These will be made again and again in this household.
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Fabulous recipe. My family loved them – thank you!
You are so welcome, Lesley! Glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Exelente receta justo lo que quería, me encantan los aros de cebollas
looken good
Hi Kelly,
I love onion rings but hate it when they separate from the batter when you bite into them. Any suggestions?
Also, I prefer thin onion rings, can I use the same recipe except to slice the onion rings very thinly? If that’s the case, how thinly should I slice them? Thank you-I’m planning on trying these this Saturday
You can definitely slice the onions thinner, and this batter will not separate from the rings! Aim for slicing them about 1/2-inch thick :)
CVan i sub. Coors or Bud for the beer?
Definitely!
We made these onion rings (tasty morsels!) last night for a family get together — but what I really chose the recipe for is to make fried pickles. My husband made the batter and fried a batch of pickles and a batch of onion rings. Truly, they were the best we’ve ever had and I’ve tried many recipes over the years. Thanks for this!
I didn’t have my recipe so I tried this one last night. My fiance’ and I loved them. Thank you!
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Raelene!
This is by far the best onion rings I’ve ever made! Crunchy and golden, I served them atop steaks when I had company over for a dinner and it added that wow factor to my meal! Thanks for a great recipe! I adore your blog! Can’t wait to try many more of your recipes!
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Raizy!
yoos stout. Ridden buy a a gy. But a guy that loves to cook.
Is it important to use pale ale or will any type of beer suffice?
Hi Graham! You can use any variety of beer you want. Enjoy!
they look soo good ! I am on my way to the store for onions! going to make these today
I just made these tonight and they were delicious and very easy to make!
Those look so perfect! It’s pretty amazing how great deep fried onions are and I love the spicy ketchup idea. I make chipotle ketchup and it’s fun that people freak out over something that simple.
What a coincidence! I made onion rings on our Super Bowl party, too. I will try to post the recipe sometime. I am writing this to ask the URL of your book: Food blogging for dummies as I referred to your book in my most recent post. I am writing posts about photography, digital photography and food photography.
Those onion rings look so amazingly delicious. I’ll have to make some ASAP.
I have been waiting for this post! Cant wait to try them! They look so good!
I go wild for beer battered rings! These look so fabulous, and just like a restaurant :)
Oh, my husband would love these. He is an onion ring fanatic.
These look amazing, Kelly! Nothing beats beer batter!
Ok, I’ll take a HUGE plate of these for lunch please. and dinner. and a snack? Can I have these for breakfast tomorrow too?? Please? I’m in love. :)
I’ve always wondered how to do a beer batter at home, and what better to do it on than onion rings! Yum!!
Dinner tonight? Is that bad??
Too funny! We are on the same wavelength. Just posted Beer-Battered Onion Rings yesterday. Love them.
oh goodness, these look professional! beer batter love!
I made baked onion rings once. They were fine. But let’s be real: there’s no substitute for the real thing, and the breading on these suckers looks absolutely perfect!
I’m right there with you, Sydney. There are some foods that just aren’t meant to be baked :)
Is it wrong that it’s barely 10am and I’d love to dive into a huge plate of these onion rings?!?!?!
These look great!
Oh my goodness, Kelly. I’m sitting here drooling over my coffee. Nothing beats beer batter. These are amazing, my friend.
I can barely handle all the deliciousness going on here! SO MUCH YUM.
Oh geez, my weakness! I’m afraid of frying things, but these, I think I can handle!
Don’t be afraid, Abby! Deep-frying is much easier than everyone thinks. The key is to keep your oil at the correct temp so the food is cooking (and getting crispy) quickly without browning. Go for it!
These onion rings look so delicious. I love your photographs.
I recently read your book on Food Blogging. There is so much great information. It has been very helpful!
Christine
Thanks so much, Christine! I’m so glad the book has been helpful!
