"I haven't tried this but one of my co-workers said it was the best batter for onion rings you will ever eat. Now I can't wait to try. Prep time includes letting the batter stand."

  1. This is good! The batter does smell strongly of beer during the waiting period, but the beer is not so detectable after it is fried. Probably safest to use for people who like beer, though. I thought it was very nice on red onion and also sea scallops. I actually thought it was better on the seafood. One batch was enough for one very large red onion, 10 sea scallops and one fairly small potato, with a little left over. By the time I got to the potato, though, the batter was almost completely deflated. Thank you for sharing this recipe with us. I forgot to add - the batter didn't stay on the first few onion rings very well, so I dusted them with flour. They were fine after that. I also used flour first when I prepared the sea scallops.

I live in eastern NM in a small community. We farm and I am also the elementary secretary at the school. I've been at the school going on 14 years, moving this year from high school to elem. Nice change. It's a small school (250 pre-k to 12) so it's a very rewarding job. I know all the students and I love them all. My husband & I both have our own motorcycle, although I don't ride as much as he does. I love to cook, but I like to cook for a lot of people and you can tell when I start something. Usually it ends up being for an army when it's just my husband & I, our kids are grown. I don't know if I have a favorite cookbook, I just like them all and I get alot of recipes off the internet now. My passion is my God and my family. Pet Peeves-someone thinking they are better than me. I would like to travel if I had a month off with my family. Just take my time and enjoy the sights.
