ingredients
- 2 sweet/yellow onions
- 2 cups gluten free all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon diamond crystal kosher salt (1/2 if using Morton)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 1/2 cups gluten free beer (available at Whole Foods)
- 2 cups oil for frying, or more as needed
Method
Step 1
Cut bottom off of onions (not the eye/knot) and remove skins.
Step 2
Cut width wise into about 1/2" rounds. Carefully break apart pieces to create your "rings".
Step 3
Place 1/2 cup of flour into a shallow dish. Toss onion rings through. Shake off excess and set aside.
Step 4
In a medium-large bowl.. combine remaining flour, corn starch, salt&pepper, and seasonings.
Step 5
Mix in beer, measuring out 1 1/2 cups not including the foam.
Step 6
Whisk until no clumps remain.
Step 7
Toss onion rings through batter to coat.
Step 8
Heat oil in a heavy bottomed pot. About 2" deep is good.
Step 9
Allow excess batter to drip off onion rings, and carefully place one by one into hot oil... swirling each ring a bit, so they don't stick to the bottom of the pot.
Step 10
Fry 3-5 minutes until golden brown.
Step 11
Remove from oil, and place on a wire rack to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with kosher salt while hot.
