## Ingredients

- 4 pcs [Onion](https://fridge.menu/en/i/onion) — cut into rings
- 200 ml [Beer](https://fridge.menu/en/i/beer)
- 175 g [Plain flour](https://fridge.menu/en/i/flour)
- 0.5 tsp [Baking powder](https://fridge.menu/en/i/baking-powder)
- [Salt](https://fridge.menu/en/i/salt)
- [Black pepper](https://fridge.menu/en/i/black-pepper) — freshly ground
- 1 l [Vegetable oil](https://fridge.menu/en/i/vegetable-oil) — for deep-frying

### Chilli cheddar dip

- 1 tbsp [Butter](https://fridge.menu/en/i/butter)
- 1 tsp [Plain flour](https://fridge.menu/en/i/flour)
- 0.5 tsp [Smoked paprika](https://fridge.menu/en/i/smoked-paprika)
- 100 ml [Milk](https://fridge.menu/en/i/milk)
- 150 g [Mature cheddar](https://fridge.menu/en/i/cheddar) — freshly grated
- [Salt](https://fridge.menu/en/i/salt)
- [Black pepper](https://fridge.menu/en/i/black-pepper) — freshly ground

## Steps

1. Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. Pour in the beer, whisking until the batter is smooth and runny.
2. Heat the oil in a saucepan. Check the temperature by dipping the tip of a wooden skewer into it – it's ready when small bubbles form and sizzle around the tip.
3. Separate the onion rings so you have plenty of individual rings.
4. Dip a handful of onion rings into the beer batter, then lower them into the oil one ring at a time.
5. Fry 10-12 rings at a time.
6. Lift the onion rings out with a slotted spoon once golden and crisp.
7. Drain on kitchen paper, then sprinkle with flaky salt and serve with the dip.
8. Melt the butter in a saucepan and stir in the flour and smoked paprika to form a roux.
9. Gradually add the milk in small amounts while heating, whisking until the sauce is free of lumps.
10. Let it simmer gently, stirring, for a few minutes until the sauce reaches a good consistency.
11. Add the cheddar and stir until melted.
12. Season to taste with salt, pepper and jalapeño. Serve warm.
