Top Tricks
Natural Batter Mix - Instant consistency and a best friend to lagers.
Pre-Dusts - Choose Pre-Dust Number One or Two. It offers a textured surface for better batter adherence and secures the seasoning beneath, minimising frying medium damage.
Dried Yeast - Enhance the beer essence without turning to a robust dark brew.
Lager - Keep it simple and light! Consider options like Heineken, Carlsberg, or Aldi's Sainte Etienne Premium Lager Beer.
Cayenne Chilli - This mild powdered chilli seamlessly integrates into your batter, giving a gentle kick without overpowering.
What You Will Need
| Ingredients | Quantity |
| Large White Onions | As Needed |
| Natural Batter Mix | 1.25kg |
| Pre-Dust Number One / Two | As Needed |
| Cold Lager | 2 Litres |
| Dried Yeast | 5g |

Easy-Peasy Steps
1. Cut the onion into rings. Place in a tub and freeze solidly for at least 1 hour (can stay frozen for up to a month).
2. For the batter: Mix dried yeast, cayenne chilli, and salt into the lager. Stir in the Natural Batter Mix until well combined, achieving a dense consistency. Note: It's okay to have some lumps; the batter should be thicker than the usual fish batter.
3. When frying time comes, toss the frozen onion rings into either Pre-Dust Number One or Two, dunk into the beer batter, and fry until golden and crunchy.
4. Serve while hot!
