Instructions:

Prepare the Onion Rings:
- Peel the onion and cut it into 3/8 inch slices, separating them into rings.

Prepare the Batter:
- In a food processor or blender, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, beer, egg, and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Coat the Onion Rings:

Fry the Onion Rings:
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F (190°C).

Drain and Serve:
