Default Champagne batter onion rings

Same way as beer batter, but different flavor. I didn't add any flavoring
to the batter other than salt and pepper, and only salted them while they
drained.

I've tried making battered fried onion rings before, but the batter always
tended to fall off in the oil while frying. These turned out beautifully
and so flavorful!

Amounts are approximate; I never really measure.


1-1/2 cups flour
2 eggs (recipe called for just egg yolks, but I used the whole egg)
tsp salt
tsp fresh ground pepper
tblsp oil
Oil for frying, or deep fry

Mix and slowly pour in up to 1 cup champagne while stirring and keeping
clumps from forming.
Refrigerate for 3 hours.
Dip slices of onion (I used small sweet onions) in the batter and fry in hot
oil. Don't try to turn for at least 7 minutes to let batter set. Continue
frying until the other side is evenly browned. Drain on paper towels and
lightly salt while hot if desired.

I tried this batter with sliced chicken and it was yummy, too. Doesn't meet
my low cholesterol diet, but hey, we all need to fudge it sometimes.

Neat idea. I'd given up on batter due to the very reasons you mentioned.
