These are the best fried battered onion ring recipe we've found. The batter is excellent and we think it could work for fish and chips, too,
Serving Suggestions:
The original recipe calls for a mustard sauce. Combine 2/3 cup of spicy brown mustard with 1/4 cup of red wine vinegar and 2 tablespoons of honey.
Ingredients:
1 large white onion, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
1 cup plus 2 tbs. self-rising flour, divided
1/3 cup plain yellow cornmeal
1 tsp. kosher salt, divided
1 cup beer
1 tsp. hot sauce
Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions:
1. Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels. Place a wire rack on top of the paper towels.

2. Separate the onion into rings. In a large reusable plastic bag, combine onion slices and 2 tablespoons flour. Seal the bag and shake well.

3. In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the remaining one cup of flour. Add beer and hot sauce; whisk until combined.

4. Fill a large, deep cast-iron skillet halfway full with oil, and heat over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350°F.

5. Working in batches, dip onions in beer mixture, letting excess drip off.

6. Fry onions, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about three minutes. (Adjust heat as needed to maintain 350°.) Remove onions using a slotted spoon and let drain on prepared rack. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.
