Just wait until you try these onion rings!!!! These are still wonderful without the Cajun seasoning too! Adjust the Cajun seasoning to taste. Use a sweet onion such as Vidalia or Spanish for this. If you don't have any Cajun seasoning handy you can use seasoned salt and 1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Ingredients:
3 large sweet onions, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch rings |
2 1/4 cups flour |
2 teaspoons cajun seasoning (or to taste) |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup cornmeal |
2 cups beer (use a light-coloured beer for this) |
1 large egg, lightly beaten |
oil (for frying) |
Directions:
1. Place the onion rings in a large bowl of ice water; let stand for 35 minutes.
2. Drain then place on paper towels; pat dry well.
3. In a bowl combine flour with Cajun seasoning, baking powder, salt and cornmeal; mix to combine.
4. Add in the beer and egg; stir until thoroughly blended and smooth; chill for 20 minutes.
5. Dip the onion rings into the batter coating well on both sides.
6. Heat 3-inches oil in a Dutch oven to 375 degrees.
7. Drop the onion rings a few at a time into hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides.
8. Drain and serve immediately.
9. Delicious!
