Instructions
Onion Rings
- Peel & slice the onion into rings. Place the onion into a mixing bowl, add in the buttermilk & mix to coat. Let stand for 15 minutes.
- Pour the canola oil into a large high-rimmed pot or pan, place onto a high heat, & heat to 180°c-350°f.
- To make the batter, add half of the plain flour into a mixing bowl. Add in the sea salt flakes, ground white pepper & garlic powder, mix to combine. Pour in the soda water & whisk until smooth.
- In another bowl, add in the remaining plain flour for dredging.
- Remove the onions from the buttermilk, remove any excess buttermilk, place the onions into the flour (do this in batches), give them a mix to completely coat, shaking off any excess flour. Add the dredged onions into the batter, remove any excess batter then gently place the prepared onions into the hot oil.
- Fry the onion rings for 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove & place onto a wire rack to drain.
Ranch Sauce
- In a mixing bowl, add the egg yolks, dijon mustard, flat-leaf parsley, dill, chives, & lemon juice, whisk to combine.
- Secure the base of the mixing bowl with a wet towel or grip mat. Whilst continuously & vigorously whisking, slowly pour in the olive oil to create an emulsion. If it starts to pool, stop adding the olive oil & whisk it in before continuing.
- Once the mayonnaise has been created, add in the onion powder, garlic powder, buttermilk & season to taste, whisk to combine. Serve the ranch sauce alongside the onion rings. Dig in.

Beer Battered Onion Rings Reheating Instructions
Due to this being a fried product, it’s not recommended to reheat it as the batter won’t be as good as it was fresh.

If the onion rings have been frozen, it is recommended to freeze them whilst still frozen.
