Onion Rings that are the GREATEST

let me start this off by saying the main course was BBQ beef brisket sandwiches for dinner... which were good and all. But oh, the onion rings.... Good Lord:

Grab 2 med sized bowls (not cereal bowls which is what i started out with, not enough mess room)
1 or 2 sweet yellow onions
about 1 cup  Self Rising Flour
1/2 cup Buttermilk
1 cup Miller Lite  (or other beer left in your fridge form super bowl that you cant drink, and so far haven't been able to pass off to anyone else either... that says something miller, just sayin)
2 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Pepper
1 tsp Salt
 pinch Garlic Powder
Deep fryer with veg oil/shortening/etc...

In one bowl put about 1/3 cup self rising flour. add 1/2 cup buttermilk. mix well with a fork and let sit about 5 min (or while your cutting up your onion into cut little delectable rings)

Cut up onions and punch out rings. Toss in buttermilk mixture, coat the onions well. Let sit about 20 min or so. Let fryer heat up during this time to 375 degrees.

In another bowl add rest of flour (about 2/3 cup) 1 cup miller lite, paprika, s & p and garlic powder. Mix well, let it "fizzle", set aside for about 5 min. It shouldn't be too soupy, almost "pasty like" looking. if not, add a bit more flour.
(((I didn't measure this stuff out, i just eyeballed it when I made it. I promise next time I will and Ill come back and diligently fix all my "ish-es".)))

Once oil is hot, take onion ring out of buttermilk batter and coat well in the beer batter. Drop carefully into the fryer (NOTE* if you have a basket, take it out, the batter sticks to the basket, the onion rings will get stuck on the bottom) Only do about 5 at a time, so they aren't touching when in the fryer. Cook about 2-3 min, turning once, until a golden brown. Drain on a paper towel lined plate and serve HOT!

These are the ugly ones left over after dinner, they all got eaten up quickly!

By the way I also made fresh fries, and I DID copy down to measurements for those... so check out that blog too. coming soon ;)
