Ingredients
vegetable oil, for frying
1½ tsp ground black pepper
2 tsp salt
2 large yellow onions, (12 oz), cut into thick rings
2 cups buttermilk
2½ cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 tbsp garlic powder
12 oz cold beer, of your choice, preferably medium-bodied
marinara sauce
Preparation
Marinate the onion rings in the buttermilk for at least 20 minutes. Set aside.
Heat about 1-inch of oil in a cooking pot at 350 degrees F.
To make the batter, mix together 1 cup of flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl.
Mix the beer with the rest of the flour in a separate bowl.
Drain off the onion rings from the buttermilk. Dredge the onion rings in seasoned flour and dip the rings in the flour and beer mixture until evenly coated.
Fry the onion rings until they turn golden brown. Remove them from the pot and let them dry on a stack of paper towels.
Stack them up on a serving bowl or plate, then serve together with marinara sauce, or any sauce of your choice.
