Barnacle Bill's Beer Batter Awesome Onion Rings

That's right! for the best onion rings you've ever had, you have to try them Barnacle Bill's Beer Batter style.

First select 3 - 4 medium to large onions (we suggest Maui Sweet Onions if you can get them). Peel the onions and rinse well with water to remove any dirt or onion skin particles. Cut onions 1/4 - 3/8 inch thick. The use of a food slicer that you can set the thickness on to get nice evenly cut rings is a big plus. Gently separate the rings to prepare for cooking.

Start to heat the oil if you haven't done so yet. It will take a couple minutes to get good and hot if you are using a deep pot or wok on the stove. If you are using an electric deep fryer you should start heating the oil prior to peeling the onions (electric deep fryers can take 3o minutes or longer to heat to 375 degrees depending on the size of the fryer).

Once the oil has reached cooking temperature empty one bag of Barnacle Bill's Beer Batter into a large mixing bowl. The pouch is resealable so for fewer people you do not have to use the entire bag. Add your favorite ice cold beer to the batter mix until it reaches a pancake mix like consistency (about 16 oz for a whole bag). Use a wire whisk for best results.

Now we're ready to cook up some Awesome Onion Rings Barnacle Bill's Beer Batter Style!

Pick up the rings one at a time a dust them in flour, then put them into Barnacle Bill's Beer Batter and coat well with the batter. Now gently drop them into the hot oil. Continue putting onion rings in hot oil but do not put too many and do not let them overlap.

Cook for about one minute then flip the rings over for a minute to evenly cook the onion rings thoroughly. Onion Rings should be a nice golden brown in color.

Take out of the hot oil and place on a wire rack or on some paper towels to cool off a bit. When you can pick up the onion rings without burning your fingers they're ready to enjoy!
