Step 1

Preheat oil in a large sauce pan to 375' F. Peel onion and cut off the bottom, leaving a flat surface. Cut into 3/4-inch wedges, but do not cut all the way through.

Step 2

Soak onion in ice cold water until wedges open, about 20 minutes; drain and pat dry. Mix eggs, beer and milk in a medium bowl. Mix flour and baking powder in a separate bowl.

Step 3

Dip onion in egg mixture, then into flour mixture. Dip again into egg mixture then flour mixture, making sure onion is well coated.

Step 4

Place onion in hot oil. Deep-fry until golden brown and tender, about 15 minutes; drain on paper towels. Place onion on a serving plate. Sprinkle with salt and cayenne pepper.
