Equipment

Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1 12 oz. can beer (any kind)

- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F (190°C).
- Dip the onion rings into the batter, ensuring they are evenly coated on all sides.
- Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
- Fry the onion rings for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried onion rings from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
