Makes 3 servings (serving size: 4 onion rings)

1                    large sweet onion  
1/4                 cup low-fat buttermilk 
1/4                 cup light beer 
1                    egg white  
1/2                 cup all-purpose flour 
2                    tablespoons olive oil 
                    **Vegetable cooking spray** 
1/2                 teaspoon coarse kosher salt 

1.         Cut onion into 1/4-inch-thick slices, and separate into rings. Select largest 12 rings, reserving remaining onion slices for another use.
22.       Whisk together buttermilk, beer, and egg white in a small bowl until blended.
3.         Dredge onion rings in flour; dip into buttermilk mixture, coating well. Dredge again in flour, and place on a baking sheet.

  2. How tasty! I'm reminded of the onion rings we once ordered when we would eat at Shoney's. In more recent times, we stay away from things that are deep fried, and these would be perfect! Thank you for sharing!

  4. Dear Nee,
    I wish we could just reach in the computer and pull out some of these fabulous beer battered onion rings. I LOVE onion rings, and boy these look so good! I have some beer left from my beer bread that I made, so now I can make these. A perfect way to accompany any dish or just eat them by themselves. Thanks for sharing this...
    Blessings for your St. Patrick's Day..Dottie :)
