Step 1
Preheat oil in a large sauce pan to 375' F. Peel onion and
cut off the bottom, leaving a flat surface. Cut into 3/4-inch wedges, but do
not cut all the way through.
Step 2
Soak onion in ice cold water until wedges open, about 20
minutes; drain and pat dry. Mix eggs, beer and milk in a medium bowl. Mix
flour and baking powder in a separate bowl.
Step 3
Dip onion in egg mixture, then into flour mixture. Dip
again into egg mixture then flour mixture, making sure onion is well coated.
Step 4
Place onion in hot oil. Deep-fry until golden brown and
tender, about 15 minutes; drain on paper towels. Place onion on a serving
plate. Sprinkle with salt and cayenne pepper.

Pre - Prepared Items for even Faster Serving Times
Prepare the onions though step 1 up to 4 hours ahead.
Keep refrigerated until ready for frying. |
Money Savers
Mild and sweet Vidalias have a short season and
limited supply that can make them scarce and pricey. Substitute other
large sweet onions, such as Oso Sweets from Texas, Walla Walla or Maui
onions. |
Serving Variation
For a lighter, crisper breading, use self-rising flour
instead of the all-purpose. |
