Fried Onion Rings

In a deep fryer or large heavy saucepan suitable for deep-frying, heat oil to 365 degreesF. Follow instructions for quantity of oil for deep fryer. For heavy saucepan, allow at least 2 inches of oil.

In a large bowl, stir together flour, beer and garlic powder until smooth. Working in batches, add onions to batter; toss and coat evenly, then add to hot oil. 

Fry until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, setting on paper towels to drain. Season to taste with salt.
