It is wise to eat any deep-fried foods on only an occasional basis, as the extra fat and calories may result in weight gain.
Step 1
Add 1 cup pastry flour, ¼ tsp. baking powder, ¼ tsp. salt and 2 tbsp. cornstarch to a large mixing bowl and whisk together until combined.
Step 2
Pour 1 cup of beer slowly into the dry ingredients and whisk everything together until the batter is smooth.
Step 3
Dip the sliced onion rings into the batter until thoroughly coated. Shake off any excess batter and add the rings to the deep fryer.
Step 4
Substitute club soda or plain water for the beer if you prefer no alcohol in the batter.
