Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large Sweet Onions
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour (for dusting sliced onions)
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 1 cup light lager beer (use your favorite brand)
- 1 teaspoon salt (plus more for seasoning)
- vegetable oil or lard (for frying)

Instructions
- Peel the sweet onions and slice into thick rings. Separate the rings and place in a shallow dish. Toss with a few tablespoons of flour.
- Pour vegetable oil into a heavy skillet or dutch oven, filling it a few inches deep. Heat to 375° – 400° using a deep fry thermometer.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together all purpose flour, corn starch, and salt. Slowly whisk in the light beer until a smooth batter forms.

- Carefully place battered onion rings into the hot oil in small batches. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove onion rings to a paper towel lined wire rack over a baking sheet. Sprinkle lightly with additional kosher salt while hot.
