1/2 tsp baking powder

1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Salt, to taste

Black pepper, to taste

1 large onion (white or sweet)

3-4 cups canola or vegetable oil for frying

Onion Ring Sauce:

1/4 cup sour cream

2 tbsp ketchup

1 1/2 tbsp horseradish

Directions:

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.

Pour in the beer and Worcestershire sauce, whisking until smooth.

Let the batter sit covered for about 30 minutes.

Slice the onion into 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch-thick rings and pat dry with paper towels.

Dip onion rings into the batter and fry in the oil until golden brown on both sides, flipping once.

Fry in batches, without overcrowding, and remove with metal tongs or a slotted spoon to a wire rack lined with paper towels.
