Onion Rings

One of my Oconto students, Steve, found this recipe and it has always been a favorite of mine.  I have used this batter for many deep fried foods...including cheese curds.

Onion Rings
1 1/3 cup flour
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 Tbsp. melted butter
2 beaten egg yolks
3/4 cup flat beer
2 egg whites
4 large white onions
1 cup milk
1 cup water

Put flour, salt, pepper, melted butter, and beaten egg yolks in a bowl and mix well.  Gradually add the flat beer and stir constantly.  Allow the batter to rest, covered and refrigerated, 3 to 12 hours.  Add egg whites to the batter just before using.

Skin onions and cut crosswise into 1/4th inch slices.  Soak onions in the milk and water liquid for 1 hour.

Place onion slices in the batter.  Pick up with fork and gently put the slices in the deep fat fryer.  Cook until lightly brown.  When done, place on a paper towel.
