Beer Battered Onion Rings

Onion rings!  Haven't made these in like, F-O-R-E-V-E-R.  Hands down the beer batter are the best.  And, yah know, they fry up really fast so it does not use too much grease.  So, not bad for a once in a while thing.

One of my favorite things is sausage or a hot dog with sauerkraut.  Divine. Together these were great.  Some sweet whole grain mustard! OMG. 

Beer Battered Onion Rings

2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 cups (12 ounces) pale ale beer
2 large yellow onions, slice into 1/4 in rings
Vegetable oil, for frying

Mix together flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper.  Add in beer.  Stir.  I place a bunch of the rings into the batter then pulled each one out with a chopstick, letting it drip a little and then placing it into the cauldron of hot bubbling oil.  Aka oil should be around 360° .  You could stick that same wooden chop stick in and see if little bubbles form around it. And word to the wise, keep monitoring the heat.
