BATTER FRIED ONION RINGS

INGREDIENTS:

2 large Vidalia onions, sliced 1/2 to 3/4 thick, separate rings
1 cup Great Value (Walmart) Extra Fluffy Complete Pancake & Waffle Mix
1 cup cold water
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon Freshly ground black peppercorns (Tellicherry)
1/2 teaspoon Lawry's Seasoned salt
2 cups corn starch (for dredge)
Peanut oil or oil of your choice for frying

OPTIONAL BEER BATTER INGREDIENTS:

1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
1/4 cup corn starch
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Lawry's Seasoning salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black peppercorns (Tellicherry)
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
2 cups strong dark beer or ale (ice cold) your choice

Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy bottomed pot to 350 degrees F.  Place corn starch in a shallow flat bottom pan.  Peel onions and cut horizontal slices 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick and separate rings.  Place rings into corn starch (dredge) and thoroughly coat.

Whisk all batter ingredients either pancake mix or the Optional Beer batter to the consistency of a thin pancake batter in a medium sized bowl.  Shake off excess corn starch from each onion ring and place onion rings in the batter and coat.  Remove each onion ring from the batter and allow excess batter to drain back into the bowl.  Place individual onion rings into the hot oil and do not crowd.  Let fry until golden brown about 1 to 2 minutes each side.

Remove rings from the hot oil and place on paper towels to drain.  Serve while hot as an appetizer or as a side dish.

YIELD: 4 servings

Above batter dipped and fried onion rings were done on 03-11-13.  Used a heavy bottomed stainless steel Townecraft pot filled about 1/4 full with Crisco Vegetable Oil and kept a dial thermometer inserted  to keep check on the oil temperature.  The onion rings were outstanding; moist inside, excellent crunch, perfect combination of sweetness with the other spices, whereas the onion ring was fully done and did not pull loose from the batter while you were biting into them as some restaurant onions rings will do.  The pancake batter certainly did rise, fluff out and expand on the onion rings as evidenced by the pixs.

Sometimes you get lucky with a first experiment and this was certainly the case.  Will post sequence pixs at a later date.
