Beer Battered Onion Rings

If I remember correctly, I found this recipe in a magazine. Hands down, one of my favorite bar foods. Serve with ketchup, or your favorite dipping sauce. I love a fry sauce (ketchup and mayo) with a little smoky kick (as you would get from chipotle).

Batter:

1 1/2 Cups Flour
1 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Pepper
1 Tablespoon Melted Butter or Canola Oil
2 Egg Yolks, beaten

Add gradually, and stir constantly:

3/4 Cup Flat Beer (either an Amber or Pale Ale work well)

Allow the batter to rest in the refridgerator, covered for 3-12 hours.

Combine:

2 Walla-Walla Sweet Onions, cut into rings
1 Cup Water
1 Cup Milk

Soak onions in liquid for an hour. Lay out on paper towel to drain. Cover onions in batter. Pick up four to five rings at a time, and drain off the excess batter before frying. Fry in a deep fat fryer, with the oil (Canola), heated to 365 degrees,  filling about a third of the fryer. Fry until onion rings are golden brown. Take out and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper while still hot, and serve.
