Not good for deep fryers, sticks to the basket too much.

This was a great recipe!!!!! I too had to add alot more beer to the mixture but otherwise they were fantastic. Also, if you find they are lacking a little flavor just salt them once you remove them from the fryer.

Very good recipe. The batter turn out very thick, so I ended up putting the whole can of beer in the batter to make it thinner. I did not add the salt because of the butter. Instead I added coarse ground pepper. Will make again.

This is by far one of the better beer batter recipes out there. I did end up adding more beer to give mine more of a pancake batter type of consistancy, and if you don't have a favorite dipping sauce, you'll want to add something more for flavor. I ended up using some Walla Walla sweet onions and it turned out great! One tip... rather than drudging the onion before dipping it, I just threw my sliced onions in a gallon size bag with the flour and gave them all a good shake at the same time, it really cut down the mess.

This works well, I ended up dipping them in flour, then batter, then flour again, then batter again, and they came out beautifully crunchy. First time frying onions; next time would use more spices in the flour/batter/both :)

This is wonderful recipe. The batter must be of pancake batter consistancy. So add extra beer as needed. Recipe as written is good. But on our second batch we decided to add some spices to see if it would make them more flavorfull. We really enjoyed them better with the spices. We added some paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, red pepper, extra salt.

Really good! I also used quite a bit more beer than the recipe called for - like a bottle and a half. The onion rings were light and crispy. I can't wait to try it with zucchini!

I didn't like this recipe at all. The batter came out more like a dough so I had to add way more beer. I guess I'll keep looking for a beer batter for onion rings.

I have to admit, I was afraid to make these...I hadn't deep-fried anything before, but these turned out fabulous! Easy easy easy to make. I did use about twice the amount of beer than called for. I used Heineken but I think the next time, I will use Nut Brown Ale, as the beer flavor didn't come through very strong. No leftovers, it all went fast and now they are having me make more this week! **Update** I made them again with Newcastle Nut Brown Ale and you could taste the beer more, it had a deeper flavor. I will make them with the Nut Brown Ale from now on.

Wonderful. Light, and fluffy. It is a keeper. My only suggestion would be to alter the recipe so that the flour used for dregging is listed 1st, then the rest for the batter. For a new cook, it could be confusing. Thanks

I feel bad for giving such a bad rating but I have to agree with the review ihopethatsnotacricket. The batter was very thick, didn't stick, and had no flavor. They tasted like onions coated in plain flour.

My husband and I both thought this batter was extremely good! It has a very good taste. It was quite messy though! The only problem I had while deep frying these were a couple of them stuck to my basket and burnt. So when I made my second batch I made sure I kept shaking the basket now and then and used a utensil to sir them a little. All in all, this is a great recipe for a delicious batter I am sure I will use time and time again!

Very good, even though I did not do the egg white part. I will next time to see the difference. I just mixed the eggs with the beer, added salt and paprika then the flour. I did not used the butter either. Deep fried them and they were great. I also used more beer than called for.

This is fabulous, just the recipe I was looking for! I did end up using more beer than called for, like others, but I usually use the liquid called for as a guide, adjusting more or less as necessary. I thought this recipe was perfect just as is. I didn't change the seasonings at all. I froze most of the recipe, reheating them on a heat-safe cake rack in the oven. Not as good as freshly made, but still very yummy without all the mess. This recipe is terrific, and works great for just about any vegetable. You MUST try it!!!

Oh my goodness, these were so good! Will have to be a special treat though, because they are a lot of work. Also, I had to nearly double the beer but it was worth it.
