Onion Rings Thu, 10/8/09 1:17 PM (permalink)
I need to find an Onion Ring wholesaler........I am currently purchasing at Sams but the recommended serving size appears skimpy once its served, or placed in one of my lunch specials. They are delicious, whole onion slices, but the sizes are big thus making it seem like less. Where my shop is location Quantity is whats noticed, unfortunately.
 
Any help?

    Brew City Onion rings are very good and the serving size is also appealing on the plate. We source these through SYSCO. Brew City also makes other sides made with beer batter.

          Make your own to order!
          Slice onions to your preferred thickness. Mix milk (or beer) and flour to a thin paint consistency, coat the rings then dredge in flour.. Shake well and drop them in the fryer.. Season with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper.

              Uncle, The batter will not stick to the ring unless you FIRST dredge it flour and then in the batter. Shake any excess batter and then fry to desired browning.  The original poster did not say if this was a brick and mortar place or a mobile place and that could determine whether he has the time to make from scratch or if he needs to have an already prepared product.

                Never had any problem with my method.. Been doing it in commercial kitchens for some time now.  But ya, have to shake that batter off, otherwise your flour dredge will become a big glob.

                   Never tried it that way but will give it a try at home before I try it at the restaurant. Seems that the batter would fairly fly off the onions before sticking. JMHO. Maybe I will try the double dip method ie. dredge, batter, dredge, fry.
