Ingredients
- 2 large sweet onions preferably Vidalia
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 4-6 cups canola or vegetable oil for frying
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cornstarch
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1½ tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt plus more for finishing
- 1 14.9-oz. can Guinness, or another stout beer
- 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- ½ Tbsp honey
Instructions
- Peel and slice onions into ½" rings. Separate rings and place in a large bowl with buttermilk; let soak for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, using a heavy-bottomed pan or Dutch oven, heat oil to 360°F.
- Using a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder and salt. Set bowl aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the beer, mustard and honey. Pour liquid mixture into bowl with the dry ingredients; stir until well combined.
- Line a baking tray with paper towels or brown paper bags; place tray next to the pot of oil.
- Working with 1-2 onion rings at a time, remove the onion rings from the buttermilk and dip into the batter. Allow excess batter to drip off of the onion rings and then carefully place into the hot oil.
- Let fry for 1-2 minutes per side, flipping occasionally.
- Remove onion rings from oil and place on baking tray. Repeat process with remaining onion rings. (Tip: Don’t dip the onion rings into the batter until right before you fry them. Also, make sure not to overcrowd the pot with too many onion rings at one time.)
- Sprinkle onion rings with additional salt before serving.
