Used this batter recipe for the cod and halibut we deep fried last Wednesday night and it is such a tasty and light batter that it will probably be my go to for a while. I did add a little sugar and cayenne to it and we all liked the addition.
Beer-Battered Onion Rings
From MasterCook library
5 ounces flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 tsp. granulated sugar
Pinch cayenne
1 egg
1 cup beer
flour, as needed for dredging
2 pounds onions – whole (or fish, as we did)
1. Sift the dry ingredients together.
2. Beat the egg in a separate bowl. Add the beer to the beaten egg.
3. Add the egg-and-beer mixture to the dry ingredients; mix until smooth.
4. Peel the onions and cut in 1/2-inch (2-centimeter) thick slices.
5. Break the slices into rings and dredge in flour.
6. Dip the rings in the batter a few at a time. Using the swimming method, deep-fry at 375ºF (190ºC) until done. Drain on absorbent paper, season with additional salt and white pepper and serve hot.

I prefer to fry my fish at 350 F. and remove as soon as they hit 140F. man, these were tasty little devils.
