Onion Rings of Fire
Betty demonstrates how to make Onion Rings of Fire. The fire of these onion rings comes from having serrano peppers, cayenne pepper, and Tabasco in the batter.
Ingredients
| Vidalia onions | 2 Large | |
| All purpose flour | 1 1/2 Cup (24 tbs) | |
| Serrano chili peppers | 2 | |
| Salt | 2 Teaspoon | |
| Cayenne pepper | 1 Teaspoon | |
| Freshly ground black peppercorns | 1/2 Teaspoon | |
| Beer | 1 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| Tabasco sauce | 1 Tablespoon | |
| Peanut oil | 2 Cup (32 tbs) (For deep frying) |
Directions
GETTING READY
Peel onions and slice into ¼-inches slices. Separate into rings and set aside.
MAKING
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, place 1 cup of the flour, placing the remaining ½ cup flour in a bowl to be used later in the recipe.
To the 1- cup flour, add serrano chilis, salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, beer, and Tabasco sauce. Whisk together.
In a heavy pot, heat peanut oil over medium heat to 350 degrees (F).
Use tongs to dip individual onion ring into flour, coating well. Dip flour-coated ring into batter, coating well. Shake off excess batter. Drop batter-coated ring into hot oil and fry until golden on top and bottom, turning once during the frying process. Repeat this procedure with the rest of the onion rings, frying a few at a time.
Place finished onion rings on paper toweling to drain and sprinkle them with coarse salt if desired.
