Indulge in crispy, golden perfection with these Beer-Battered Onion Rings—a pub-style favorite made with sweet onions and a light, airy batter featuring cold beer. Whether served as a snack, side dish, or party appetizer, these crunchy rings are pure comfort food that’s easy to make and impossible to resist.

Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet onions, sliced into thick rings

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (plus extra for dredging)

  • 1/4 cup cornstarch

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 cup cold beer (lager or pale ale recommended)

 

  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a deep pot or fryer to 375°F (190°C).

  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  3. Gradually add cold beer, whisking until a smooth batter forms. Let it rest for 5 minutes.

  4. Dredge each onion ring in a bit of extra flour. Dip into the beer batter, allowing excess to drip off.

  5. Carefully lower rings into hot oil in batches. Fry for 2–3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crisp.

  6. Remove to a paper towel-lined tray. Sprinkle lightly with salt while hot.

  7. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

For extra crunch, double dip: dredge, batter, then dredge and batter again. Best enjoyed fresh, but can be reheated in an air fryer or hot oven.
