ONION RINGS IN BEER AND VODKA BATTER

Steps:

• First, peel the onions, cut them into 1/2-inch slices, and separate them into rings. Put them into a freezer for 1 hour in a zipper-lock bag.
• Then, thaw the onion rings with tepid running water. Drain thoroughly on paper towels or kitchen cloth. Remove the membrane from each ring and set aside.
• In a large bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and paprika. In another bowl, mix beer and vodka.
• Now, slowly pour in the beer and vodka mixture into the flour mixture, stirring constantly. Adjust the amount of liquid, so the density of the batter resembles a thick paint.
• Heat the oil to 375˚F in a large wok or a Dutch oven.
• Meanwhile, dip the onion rings into the batter, let the excess batter drip off, and gently place the onions into the hot oil.
• Fry the rings for 2 minutes, then turn them over and fry for 2 more minutes.
• Drain the onion rings on paper towels, season with salt, and serve.

BAKED OR FRIED ONION RINGS IN BEER BATTER

Steps:

• Peel the onions, trim them, and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Pull the slices apart into rings, and reserve small inner rings and broken rings for other dishes.
• In a large bowl, mix flour, paprika, salt, and pepper. Slowly pour in beer, whisking constantly, until the foam disappears.
• For the baked version, heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large, nonstick skillet. Dip the onion rings into the batter, drain the excess batter, and fry them for 1,5 minute on each side. Then, transfer the onion rings to a shallow baking sheet in a single layer, and bake in an oven for 6 minutes at 425˚F.
• For the fried version, place enough oil in a deep fryer so it is 2-inches-deep, and heat for 5 to 10 minutes, or to 375˚F. Coat the onions with batter, drop them into hot oil, and fry for 2 to 4 minutes.
• Drain on paper towels and serve.

ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Use a fork to steady your onion. Slice the onion into rings about 1cm wide. Remove the skin and separate the rings.
• Heat the oil to 180C in a heavy-based pan - it should be no more than 1/ 3 full.
• Meanwhile put the flour and sparkling water in a bowl and season generously. Whisk together to form a batter.
• Coat a small batch of onion rings in batter. Carefully lower into the hot oil and deep-fry until crisp and golden, about 2 - 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a piece of kitchen towel to drain. Repeat with the remaining onion and batter.

BAKED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• Lightly grease a baking sheet with non-stick spray.
• Cut onion cross-wise into quarter-inch thick slices and separate the rings.
• Season milk, panko, and flour with the salt, sugar, cayenne and paprika.
• Dip onion slices into the milk, Make sure the whole slice is covered in milk --you can soak it in the milk overnight if you'd like.
• Dip the onion slice into the flour and then back into the milk (this will help the panko stick).
• Now dip the ring into the panko.
• Place onto the baking sheet about 1/4 inch apart to make sure the rings don't steam each other (makes rings crispier).
• Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
