Onion rings aren’t something you want to eat every day, but for a real treat they can’t be beat.
This is one of my favorite fast food recipes.
Sometimes you just want that diner/ fast food taste without the hassle or expense of eating out. Homemade onion rings and hamburgers will fill the bill!
Although these tasty crunchy rings are one of North Americas favorite fast food recipes, they pair perfectly with a good grilled steak too.
Onion rings aren’t difficult to make at all. They take just a few ingredients and some oil to fry them in.
I think the larger onions make the best rings. If you use the larger rings, you get the nice large rings that lots of people love as well as the little tiny rings coated in that wonderful batter. So you satisfy everyone.
This onion ring recipe has a beer batter. The addition of a can of beer makes the batter a bit tangy, very tender and nicely crispy.
They are best served hot from the fryer, with a little salt added. Add your favorite dipping sauces and you are good to go.
Okay, onion rings aren’t the healthiest way to eat onions, but we all need a treat once in a while.
