PALE ALE ONION RINGS

Ingredients

2 cups flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1tbsp paprika

Salt & pepper

1 cup Sydney Brewery Pale Ale (chilled)

1 large onion sliced into rings

Milk

Corn flour

Oil for frying

Method

1. Mix dry ingredients & slowly whisk in Pale Ale until a smooth batter consistency.

 

2. Soak onion rings in milk for 1 hour (this takes some of the harsh onion flavour away & sweetens them slightly) …Pat dry

 

3. Dust onion rings with corn flour before dipping into Pale Ale Beer Batter – then place in hot oil (I’ve used vegetable oil over medium heat – test a small drop of beer batter if it starts to sizzle the oil is ready) to cook until crispy & golden.

Serve Dark Lager Infused Pulled Pork on brioche buns with coleslaw, pickles & Onion Rings and of course a Sydney Brewery Beer to wash it down!Â
