Beer Battered Onion Rings

---

Just wait until you try these! These keep well if made in advance and kept on a baking sheet lined with a brown paper bag to absorb the oil, just pop in the oven for a few minutes to crisp up. Use either vidalia, spanish or bermuda onions for this. If you like spice then add in 1/2 teaspoon or more to taste of cayenne pepper. I have made these many times they are fantastic! Plan slightly ahead the onions need to sit in ice water for 30 minutes and the batter needs to chill for 15 minutes.
