Description

Ingredients

• 1 large sweet onion
• 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup cornstarch
• 2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1½ tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning + a little more for sprinkling
• 1 bottle beer (I used Pale Ale)
• 3-4 cups vegetable or canola oil for frying
• ½ cup mayonnaise
• Zest from 1 lemon
• 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt

Directions

• Whisk all sauce ingredients together and place in the fridge until ready to serve. Fill FryDaddy with oil or a large saucepan or frying pan with enough vegetable oil to cover the onion rings. Heat oil to 350 degrees F. Meanwhile, cut onions into ¼ - ½ inch rounds and add to a large bowl of ice water. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and Old Bay seasoning together. Pour in beer and whisk until smooth. Remove onion rings from ice water and pat dry with a towel. Add more ice to the large bowl, and place the bowl with the batter into the ice-filled bowl, so it keeps the batter cool. When the oil is heated, move the onion rings into the batter, shake off excess batter, and add to hot oil. Fry until golden brown (about 4-6 minutes per batch, turning halfway through if necessary). Remove to a cooling rack over paper towels, and sprinkle with Old Bay seasoning. Keep warm in 200 degree oven if you want, and continue to fry the rest of the rings. Serve with lemon dipping sauce.
