Fried Onion Rings

Category: side dish

1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups beer, room temperature
Salt and Pepper
3 very large yellow onions
3 cups oil for deep frying

Combine flour and beer in a large bowl and blend thoroughly with a whisk. Cover the bowl and allow the batter to sit at room temperature for 3 hours.
Cut onions into 1/4-inch thick slices then separate into rings. Heat oil to 370°. Using metal tongs, dip a few onion slices into the batter. Then carefully place them in the hot fat. Fry onion rings about 2 minutes, turning them once or twice until they're an even delicate golden color.
