Step 1

Preheat oil to 350˚F.

Step 2

Toss onion rings with 1/2 cup all-purpose flour until each onion ring has a light dusting of flour surrounding it. Set aside.

Step 3

Combine remaining all-purpose flour, rice flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt into a mixing bowl and whisk together.

Step 4

Whisk in beer and ice cubes until mixture is smooth.

Step 5

Dip onion rings, a few at a time, into the batter until fully coated.

Step 6

Lift onion rings from the batter, shaking off any excess. Carefully drop the coated rings into the oil and fry for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from oil and place onto a baking sheet lined with a cooling rack. Repeat until all onion rings have been fried.

Step 7

Serve onion rings with a side of ranch dressing (or other condiments of choice).
