Ingredients

• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup beer (pale ale or lager)
• Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

1. Peel the onions and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
3. Slowly pour in the beer while whisking the dry ingredients. Mix until you have a smooth batter.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).
