A&W Onion Rings

A&W Onion Rings
1 cup McCormick Golden Dipt Tempura batter mix
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup beer*
1 extra large white onion, sliced 3/8" thick
6 cups vegetable oil in your deep fryer


Preheat the deep fryer to 375F
Combine the tempura mix with the spices and liquid to make a
batter using a fork. There will be some small lumps; don't worry
about those.
Slice the onion, and separate all of the rings.
Dip the individual rings in the batter, and drop into the
preheated oil. Deep fry 3−5 minutes until golden brown.
Remove
to a paper towel lined plate, salt lightly, and serve hot.

* You can use seltzer water in place of beer as long as it has lots of bubbles.
