Preparation Time: 

Yield: Serves 2 snack size servings or 4 vegetable size servings 

Ingredients

	To Prepare the Fries
6 Cups	Vegetable Oil for deep-frying
2 Cups	Flour- all purpose, sifted
1 tsp	Cornstarch
1 tsp	Spanish Spice Blend
1 bottle	Beer
1 Whole	Spanish Onion- peeled, sliced in rings
To Taste	Salt- preferably fleur de sel

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven to 250°F

2. If you have a deep fat fryer preheat it to 375°F. If not, use a deep heavy-bottomed pot.  Pour enough oil in the pot to come at least 2 inches up the side and heat to 375°F.

3. In bowl, whisk 1-1/2 cups of flour, cornstarch, and Spanish Spice Blend together. Whisk in beer until smooth. Let stand for 15 minutes.

4. Separate the rings of the onion slices. Place the remaining ½ cup of sifted flour on a plate. Dredge the onion rings in the flour.

5. Using fork, dip the flour coated rings into the batter and then into the oil. Do 4-5 at a time. Cook in oil for about 1 minute or until golden brown, turning halfway through. Using slotted spoon, transfer to paper towel-lined baking sheet. Keep warm in 250°F for up to 1 hour. Repeat with remaining onions.

6. If desired sprinkle with salt to taste. Serve immediately!
