This is a fantastic recipe! I followed it almost exactly. My only tweak was that I used a whole bottle of Guinness and a bit of water. I took another reviewer's advice that the batter should resemble pancake batter. This was a good call. The onion rings came out perfectly, and we even had them for leftovers the next day. (I reheated them at 400 degrees F, for about ten minutes until they were crispy.)

With the recipe as printed, I got dough rather than batter, but after adding the rest of the can of beer, these turned out fairly well. They definitley need some seasoning salt or something mixed in with the flour, but they were awesomely crispy. Thumbs up!

Batter came out too thick and was unable to use it. I checked the amounts and ingredients several times but i followed the recipe. I'd try something else instead next time. Thanks

Acceptable, nothing more. It really didn't taste like anything.

i did not care for this recipe and would have given it a 3 but my brother liked it and thought it should get a four. it needed a lot more beer than called for and a lot more seasoning as it was very bland. we added garlic powder, salt, pepper, chilli powder, and paprika. we also battered some sweet potato which was quite tasty and different. overall, the recipe needed so many changes that i will prob try a different one next time.

I've never cooked onion rings before, but by the time I tasted the first one, I could tell this was a recipe to keep! I also wound up adding extra beer as the batter was too thick, but it turned out amazing.

I was looking for a great batter recipe. I tried this and I love it. I did add some pepper and garlic salt just cause I put it in everything I cook. I used this recipe for mushrooms too and it was fantastic. Easy to make and cheap no more going to a restraunt and paying 7.95 for an appitezer of shrooms. For my onion rings I did the same and seasoned them with Andy's seasoning salt after they were cooked and served with a side of HOMEADE ranch dressing.......diffenitly going to be a regular in our home and for the superbowl

These were very bland and like everyone else said you really need to add more beer..I wish I read the reviews first then I could have made some adjustments..I do plan to try it again!

This batter worked great! I used a specialty beer from Rogue breweries. Be sure you use a beer that would taste good on its own and like others have stated you need more beer than called for. You also need to add spices for some flavor, I used salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Although they would be pretty bland done as written, I still give this recipe 4 stars because the batter worked so well. They are crispy, light and stuck together well. Definitely try these!
