Beer-Battered Onion Rings & Cajun Dipping Sauce
By Addie
"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.
