BLACK AND TAN ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Cut onions into 1/4-inch slices and separate concentric rings. Set aside.
• Mix flour, salt (optionally), paprika, cayenne pepper, and the pepper flakes.
• Add stock until mixture takes on a batter consistency -- see note below.
• Pour oil into heavy saucepan, wok, or deep fryer to a depth of 2 to 3 inches. Heat to 350F.
• Preferably with tongs, coat each ring individually until completely covered with batter.
• In batches, place rings into the oil until batter takes on various shades of medium and dark brown.
• Remove rings from oil and place on dioxin-free paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
• * I'm not sure exactly how much stock to use here but start with the recommended 1 1/2 cups and add flour and stock intermittently until a batter texture is achieved.

BEST EVER ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Put the onions in a large bowl, pour over the buttermilk and cover with cling film. Leave to soak at room temperature for 30 mins to 1 hr.
• Put 100g of the plain flour on a large plate and stir in the cayenne with a little seasoning. Drain the onion rings, then coat in the seasoned flour.
• Half-fill a large saucepan with the oil and heat until it reaches 180C on a probe thermometer (or until a piece of bread crisps in 20-30 secs) or heat a deep fat fryer to 180C. Make the batter by combining the remaining plain flour with the cornflour and a pinch of salt. Make a well in the centre and pour in the lager. Stir to combine until smooth.
• Dip each onion ring in the batter and fry for 3-4 mins or until crisp. Drain on kitchen paper and sprinkle with the salt.
