Onion ring recipies, Hmmmm let me think.

I usually start with a good ale batter (one of my favorites) - It's really
easy to make and takes an all of two mins. to prepare.

Pour half a bottle of ale (preferably ENGLISH ale - you know, that black
stuff - my favorite is Bass Pale Ale - it's expensive, but worth every
penny) into a mixing bowl. Beat the ale with a wisk to remove all of the   
CO2. Let the foam settle, add a dash of salt, and then add flour, a little
at a time, beating with a wisk until it is the desired consistancy.
As a variation you can add an egg (beaten) before adding the flour.

(the best part of this recipie is that you only need half a bottle of
ale - you get to drink the rest as you cook)

The trick here is that if the batter is too thin, it won't coat the onion
rings correctly, if it is too thick it will fall off the rings.

Then - coat the onion rings in flour - VERY important! The batter won't stick
at all if the rings aren't coated!

Dip in batter, fry, and enjoy!
