When you are having a gorgeous steak and chips it is never quite right without the Yankee onion rings. They somehow bring a different dimension to the side dish which you can’t do without. These vegetarian delights are better than any frozen supermarket offerings or those that appear on the side plate at a beefeater. I can quite easily polish the lot off in one go!!!! Served with a lovely Steak with French Fries – Steak Frites will make anybody happy. I use mild mustard but you can increase the heat to you liking. When having friends round, I often prep the onion in advance and keep it under a damp tea towel until needed.

Ingredients

100 g Plain Flour 4oz
1 large eggs
150 ml milk ¼ pt
1-2 tsp mild mustard
2 large white onions
vegetable oil to deep fry
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste

Instructions

Place the flour in a large bowl. Make a well in centre and break the egg into it.
Beat lightly then gradually pour in the milk.
Continue beating milk and egg, incorporating all the flour, to make a smooth batter.
Whisk in the mustard and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Peel Spanish onions and cut into thick slices. Separate slices into rings.
Dip each ring in batter and shallow-fry in hot vegetable oil for 1-2 mins, turning once, until golden brown.
Drain well and serve with a dip.

Notes

Can quite easily polish the lot off in one go!!!! An old relative who used to hate the European version of onion rings called them Yankee so they stood out.
