Instructions

1

In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Slowly pour the Flanders Red Ale into the dry ingredients while whisking to create a smooth batter.

3

Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

4

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).

5

Dip the onion rings into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.

Carefully drop the battered onion rings into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
