Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

175ml distilled malt vinegar
75g golden caster sugar
2 large onions , cut into 1cm-thick rings
oil , for deep-frying
100g plain flour
½ tsp cayenne pepper
½ tsp ground coriander
smoked paprika , to serve
100g cornflour
100g plain flour
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
300ml lager

Steps:

  • Tip the vinegar, sugar, 50ml water and 1 tsp salt into a pan, bring to the boil, then remove from the heat. Add the onions to the pan, cover and leave to cool and pickle. Will keep for 24 hrs.
  • Pour the oil into a large pan until it's no more than a third full and heat to 180C. Mix the flour, cayenne pepper, ground coriander and 1 tsp salt together in a bowl and set aside.
  • To make the batter, combine the flours and bicarbonate of soda in a bowl, then slowly whisk in the lager. Drain the pickled onion rings and coat in the spiced flour mixture. Carefully dip them, one at a time, into the batter, then fry in the hot oil for 2-3 mins until golden and crisp. Drain on kitchen paper and season with the paprika and some sea salt.
