Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 sweet onions, (sliced into 1/2-inch thick circles)
  • 3 cups full-bodied ale or lager, (I used Samuel Adams)
  • 2 teaspoons cider vinegar
  • salt and pepper
  • 8 cups Vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 to 2 teaspoons Start! Curry Hot Sauce

Instruction

  • Place onion slices, 2 cups of beer, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large zip-top bag. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 2 hours.
  • Add oil to a Dutch oven and heat to 350 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Gradually whisk in 3/4 cup of beer just until combined. There will be some lumps. Continue to whisk in beer 1 tablespoon at a time until batter falls from whisk in a steady stream and leaves a faint trail on the surface.
  • Remove onions from liquid and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Place one-third of the onion rings in the batter, completely coating them.
  • Transfer onion rings to oil and fry until golden brown, flipping to brown both sides. Place on paper towel-lined baking sheet and season with salt.
  • Repeat with remaining onions.
  • Mix mayonnaise and Hot Curry Sauce.
