Onion Rings

Onion rings aren’t something you want to eat every day, but for a real treat they can’t be beat.

Sometimes you just want that diner taste without the hassle or expense of eating out. Homemade onion rings and hamburgers will fill the bill!

Although these tasty crunchy rings are one of North Americas favorite fast food recipes, they pair perfectly with a good grilled steak too.

This onion ring recipe has a beer batter. The addition of a can of beer makes the batter a bit tangy, very tender and nicely crispy.

Okay, onion rings aren’t the healthiest way to eat onions, but we all need a treat some time.
