Directions
- Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Add the beer and eggs, mixing constantly. If the mixture seems too thick, adjust consistency by adding more beer or some water. Allow to rest at least one hour before using.
- Peel and cut the onions into 1-inch rings. Soak in milk. Coat rings in the additional flour so the batter will adhere better to rings.
- Fill frying pan with oil (enough to completely cover the onions). Heat oil to approximately 375°F.
- Dip onion rings in batter and drop in oil. Cook until golden brown. Remove from oil and place on paper towels to dry.
- Serve hot with barbecue sauce on side.
