Any takers on spilling the beans? Pun intended.

I’ll start…

Here is my Beer-Battered Onion Ring recipe

INGREDIENTS
• 2 large sweet onions (Vidalia or yellow)
• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup cornstarch
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1½ cups cold beer (lager works best)
• Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
- Optional dredge (extra crunch):
• ½ cup flour mixed with a pinch of salt
INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prep the onions
   Slice onions into thick rings (about ½ inch).
   Separate into rings and set aside.
2. Make the batter
   In a bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and spices. Slowly add cold beer, whisking until smooth. Batter should be thick enough to coat but still drip slowly.
3. Heat oil
   Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep pot.
4. Coat & fry
   Lightly dust onion rings in the dry flour mix (optional but helps batter stick).
   Dip into batter, let excess drip off Fry in batches for 2-3 minutes, turning until golden brown.
5. Drain
   Remove and place on a rack
   (not paper towels-keeps them crisp).
