Onion Rings

Ingredients:

One cup of flour
one cup of beer (the brand of your choice since there will be some left to
cool the cook during the cooking!)
3-4 cups of shortening for frying purposes
Two - three tablespoons of sugar
two teaspoons of salt or seasoning salt to taste.
Some folks add one-fourth teaspoon of paprika to the batter to insure a
golden color.

Method:

Combine flour and beer in a large bowl, blending thoroughly. Cover and allow
batter to sit at room temperature at least 3 hours (optional). Afterwards gently
stir in the sugar and salt. Cut onions into one-fourth inch or larger (depending upon preference) slices. Separate
slices into rings. Heat shortening to 375 degrees F. (You can determine this
temperature by dropping a sample ring into the hot grease -- it should begin to
immediately sizzle and quickly rise to the top.) Dry onion rings thoroughly and roll in flour before dipping into batter. Fry until delicate golden brown.

Helpful Hints:

For crispier onion rings add more beer to the batter; for a thicker crust add more flour to the batter.
Then get ready for some down-home good eating!
