Onion rings are a pub staple in the UK. My family would always squabble over who gets the last onion ring whenever we order them! Crispy and golden with that sweet onion centre, my mouth is watering. 😋 Super tasty as a snack by themselves, or with a juicy burger. And did I mention they only take 20 minutes to whip up? Oil – for frying. We use rapeseed (canola) oil or sometimes avocado oil (which is more expensive). You’re looking for a neutral (no-taste), high smoke point oil. Seasoning – just a little salt and pepper.
For the beer batter
Self-Raising Flour – If you haven’t got self-raising flour, replace it with the same amount of plain (all-purpose) flour PLUS 1 tsp of baking powder (you’ll also still need to add the additional ½ tsp baking powder to the batter). Beer – We use a light IPA for our batter. It gives a nice light batter with a tasty, savoury flavour. Don’t worry, you can’t taste the flavour of the beer.If you use a darker beer or bitter, you may taste the maltiness of the beer a little in the batter.You can swap out the beer for lager (we like Devon Rock, Coors lite and Madri).The more carbonated the beer/lager, the lighter your batter will be. Baking powder – helps to create air bubbles for a lighter batter Cornflour (cornstarch in USA) – produces a lighter crunch (rather than the heavier crunch of flour alone). It also helps the batter adhere to the onion better. Best served fresh to preserve that light crispiness. I just love that sweetness you get from the onion, along with that golden crispiness. I could eat these non-stop! Stay updated with new recipes!Subscribe to the newsletter to hear when I post a new recipe.
