This sounds like a delicious batter for onion rings or for many other things for that matter,!! Got the recipe from a regional magazine - Saltscapes - Ingredients:
1 cup flour |
1 teaspoon coarse salt |
cayenne pepper |
3/4 cup buttermilk |
3/4 cup beer, lager or 3/4 cup pilsner beer |
1 large egg |
1 teaspoon lemon zest, finely grateed |
4 cups vegetable oil (for frying) |
2 large white onions, cut crosswise into 1/2 inch thick slices, separated into rings |
sea salt, preferably maldon |
1 lemon, cut into wedges, for serving |
Directions:
1. Combine flour, salt, and pinch of cayenne in a medium bowl. Whisk in buttermilk, beer egg and lemon zest, and let stand for 20 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 200°F Place a baking sheet on middle rack of oven. Heat oil to 380F in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Dip a few slices of onion in batter, turning to coat. Gently drop slices into oil. Cook, turning once with a wire-mesh skimmer, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer to paper towels, season immediately with salt, then transfer to the baking sheet to keep warm. Repeat with remaining onions. Adjust heat as necessary to keep oil at a steady temperature. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing.
