Black and Tan Beer Battered Onion Rings

black and tan beer battered onion rings

I hope everyone had a wonderful Father’s Day!  My little ones and I always have fun making crafts and cards for my husband.  They really get into the spirit of making his day special.  We usually try and celebrate with his family or mine, and have a nice big yummy meal.  My son was sick last week, so we celebrated on our own.  I asked my husband what I could make him to eat, and he decided on my homemade cheese sticks, onion rings, and burgers.  I really liked where he was going with his request.  Why not have fun once and awhile and indulge?  After all, it was his day 😀  My plan was to start the onion rings and burgers after we had our cheese sticks.  We were definitely a little hungry when I was making them, and we started eating the cheese sticks as they came out.  They were so hot, melty, and delicious, and we ate way too many of them.  So many in fact, that we couldn’t eat anything else but a light salad.  I was determined to finish his special meal, and decided to the next day.  I wanted to make his onion rings a little different and opted for a black and tan beer batter. Usually, a pale beer is used, but I wanted them to be a little more rich and interesting.  Although we usually make our black and tans, I went with a pre-made version by Yuengling (they make a good black and tan).  The onion rings were really good and paired well with a black and tan 😉  I hope you give these a try the next time you want to indulge a little with fried food!

I am excited to take my shells and spinach to Fiesta Friday #125  (the co-hosts this week are Quinn @ dadwhats4dinner and Elaine @ Foodbod) and Throwback Thursday #44!

    Black and tan beer – that’s a new one for me, not that I am a beer drinker. The onion rings look crispy and golden – you managed to keep the batter on. No frying until it gets colder, but in the meantime I will look for that beer 🙂

      Thank you Judi! Black and Tans include a great balance between a rich stout and lighter beer. Yuengling does a good job with their pre-made version.

    Sounds like a lovely Father’s Day to me Antonia! I can just imagine how delicious your cheese sticks must have been right out of the oven… YUM! Thank goodness you got to fit in the rest of the meal on a later day 🙂

      Thanks Heather, it was really nice. We were laughing how we can’t handle eating as much food as we used to in one sitting ;). He was happy I made everything the next day. I have been dieting ever since..lol 😀

    Love a beer batter and love onion rings. These look delicious. Sounds like a wonderful Fathers day. Thanks for the tip on Yuengling beer as a good beer that would do for both.

      Me too 😀 Thank you Suzanne! I love when we make Black and Tans, but the Yuengling version is a great substitute.

    The onion rings look so tasty! I haven’t heard of black and tans, although it could be sold over here. I’ve never liked the taste of beer, so wouldn’t really know. But I know it can be used in lots of recipes to add a great flavour. The onion rings look ideal for any family get together or little celebration, teamed with other lovely savouries. 🙂

      Thank you Millie! It is a mixture of a rich stout and a lighter beer. I really liked it in the onion rings, and am going to bake with it at some point. I think it will make an interesting bread. I agree, they are perfect for a crowd 😀

    These look delicious! I’ve never made onion rings and I like that your recipe sounds manageable. I bet the beer makes it taste great!
