Beer-Battered Onion Rings & Cajun Dipping Sauce

By

"This recipe is posted by request, but I've got to try this soon - DH loves onion rings. From a Bisquick cookbook."

Ingredients

  • Cajun Dipping Sauce:
  • 1 medium sweet onions, sliced and separated into rings ( Vidalia)
  • 2 1/4 cups Bisquick Baking Mix, divided use
  • 1 cup beer ( darker beer will make it more flavorful)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • .............................................
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chili sauce
  • 1 teaspoon horseradish
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Heat VEGETABLE OIL in deep fryer or heavy saucepan to 375*; oil should be about 1 1/2 inches deep.

Prepare Cajun Dipping Sauce by stirring until all ingredients are blended; set aside.

Toss onion rings and 1/4 cup Bisquick.

Stir remaining 2 cups Bisquick, beer, salt and eggs until smooth.
(If batter seems too thick, add more beer, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency).

Dip onion rings, a few at a time, into batter. Fry about 2 minutes, turning each ring after 1 minute, until golden brown; drain well.
Serve hot with Cajun Dipping Sauce.
