This is my VERY OWN homemade recipe. Enjoy!
You'll need a very deep pot, and a lot of oil if you don't have a deep fryer.
1 large white onion...
Cut off the sprout end, and peel. Slice downward all around the onion about 1/3 inch between slices. Do not cut off the other end.
You may need to remove a bit of the core if it doesn't seperate well, but it will seperate some while you're battering it.
Batter...
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup corn meal
1/4 cup paprika
2 tbsp garlic salt
1 tsp black pepper
Mix all above well, and meanwhile mix...
1 egg and 2 cups beer (or milk or water). Pour into flour mixture, mis together and coat onion well.
Drop the onion very gently into very hot oil. To test your oil, sprinkle a bit of batter into it. If it sizzles and floats it's ready. If it gets too brown too quick, it's too hot.
Fry for about 6 to 9 minutes, or until golden brown. Drain on a rack fo a minute or two.
For your dip sauce, mix 1/2 cup mayo with about 2 tbs. prepared horseradish.
