Aunt Bessie onion rings
Anyone had these? I've tried so many brands of onion rings, but i'm always disappointed by them. These ones look quite promising, at least from the picture, if that is anything to go by.
The article is dated March 2011, but i don't think i've seen them in my local supermarkets. http://www.fdin.org.uk/2011/03/new-o...-aunt-bessies/ |

The Aunt Bessie Toad In The Holes aren't bad. They used to be bland but they changed the sausages and now they're much nicer.

The best ones are the home-made ones...They are easy!

The Aunt Bessies Onion rings are far far better than any other cook at home ones i have tried. They have actual sliced onion in them as opposed to minced stuff for a start.
If you are careful when you cook them and don't let them get stuck to the bottom of the tray, they come out fab and take pretty close to ones you get in the pub. |

My fav onion rings are the Tesco finest beer battered ones. They have a large ring of onion inside the batter - and they are delish.

Strangely I prefer frozen breaded onion rings to battered, although I prefer fresh battered to breaded.

Defo try and go with home made ones, however if thats not possible I'd go for Asda's own batter onion ring and then fry them rather then oven cook. They do a bag of about 40 onion rings for around a quid and there the best one i've tried barring home made.

Homemade ones are just sooo much better and literally takes about 10 minutes from start to finish.

Could some post their tried and tested recipes for these and methods of cooking as the recipes I've looked up online dont sound the most appetising.

Totally agree! Their finest breaded mushrooms are great too but I can only afford them when on offer/reduced.

I've never tried their breaded mushrooms. I will have to have a look as bread mushrooms and a garlic dip are my idea of heaven.
My husband of 31 yrs is from Turkey and their white mushrooms have the texture of our chestnut ones - but only hubby & myself love them! It's so annoying as I love to cook but my mother in law hates mushrooms - she had tried them in 60+ yrs ago btw but cooking as a veggie who also has to avoid mushrooms and any herbs & spices on behalf of the MIL who loves meat is a chore at times. Parsley is her limit! Even if I blitz soup she hates it! Don't start me on gravy! Anyone would think she had to be shot when my hubby asked me to cook a chicken roast dinner for her and my brother in law (who hates potatoes!) The next day my hubby was looking forward to another meal (albeit reheated in the microwave) was aghast to find my MIL had hidden the veg under her table in her 'parlour'! She kept going on about yoghurt sauce, which I as a veggie love but come on! Try woman! She won't even eat any soup such as tomato if it's blitzed! I'm veggie but she's worse! I'm back out there in the summer in our own apartment - I'm cooking! Ironically she loves my baking of cakes etc. ![]() Breathes! I digress, sorry folks.

There are many methods. The simplest. Turn on the deep fat frier to medium high (180/190c) Cut onion in to rings. (seperate the into rings, reserve the smaller rings/middle for another day/recipe) Make a batter out of flour and lager/beer (add a pinch or salt, sugar - optional paprika/cajun spice - splash of vinegar). Should be double cream consistency. Coat the rings in flour. Dip in the batter and fry until golden. Check the BBC Food website. You'll get more indepth method. |

I use 1.25 cups (American measure) plain flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder and about 375ml lager or beer, which MUST be ice cold! I find carlsberg gives the best finished product IMO
