Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rice flour
  • 1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for topping
  • 3 tablespoons mustard powder
  • 1 tablespoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 cup dark beer
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 medium onions, peeled and sliced into 1/3 inch rings

Directions

  1. Fill a large Dutch oven with 2 inches of oil and heat to 330°F - 340°F.
  2. For the batter: Whisk the all-purpose flour, rice flour, Parmesan, mustard powder, paprika, garlic powder and 2 tablespoons of salt together in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, beer and Dijon mustard together. Add all but 1 cup of the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking to make a smooth batter (about the consistency of a pancake batter).
  3. Working in batches, dip the onion rings in the batter and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a rack. Immediately sprinkle with more parmesan.
  4. Note: Be sure to keep the temperature of the oil between 330°F and 340°F throughout the frying process. If the batter starts to thicken, add a splash of the wet ingredients.
