The secret to A&W's famous crispy onion rings is in the batter. This copycat version uses tempura mix to give the onion rings a light, crisp coating like you get at the iconic restaurant.

ingredients

1 cup tempura batter mix
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup beer
1 extra large white onion, sliced 3/8 inch thick
6 cups vegetable oil, in deep fryer

directions

Preheat the deep fryer to 375 degrees F.

Combine the tempura mix with the spices and liquid to make a batter using a fork. There will be some small lumps; don't worry about those.

Slice the onion, and separate all of the rings. Dip the individual rings in the batter, and drop into the preheated oil.

Deep fry 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Remove to a paper towel lined plate, salt lightly and serve.

  1. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    A&W doesn't use beer in their batter but it works really well and you get excellent onion rings with this recipe. If you don't want to use beer just use club soda.
