Onion Rings, soda water?
A recipe for fried onion rings I'd like to test calls for a cup of soda
water. The rest of the batter is a cup of pancake mix and some seasonings. The neat thing about the recipe is that after they're fried and drained, they can be refrigerated and baked later at 375 for 10 minutes. I wonder what soda water brings to the production. It's not something I keep on hand; never even knew anyone who drank scotch and soda back in my party days. Do you suppose a cup of beer would be a reasonable substitute? Polly |

Polly I've never tried it but supposedly soda water is good to pour on a fresh carpet stain and then blot it up. G. |

Polly That's how I make them, and you absolutely can substitute beer. I've never tried reheating them though. |

Maybe it is possible to refrigerate and later serve hot and crispy. Wouldn't that be a neat trick if you had other food going and had one less thing to coordinate? |

You will want to put them on a rack while keeping warm so the bottoms don't get soggy. |

I don't know about using pancake batter. The club soda, yes. Years ago there was a very popular fish & chips shop called 'Arthur Treachers'. He was well known in 1930's black & white films for always playing a very snooty English butler Later in life he opened a chain of successful fish & chip shops. Alledgedly the secret to the light crispy batter was due to club soda. Jill |

I was intrigued by soda water ( or beer) as the liquid and the suggestion that onion rings could be fried, refrigerated and, when convenient, crisped in the oven. Polly |

That sounds like a recipe for disaster. The batter you're talking about is going to be thick and heavy no matter if you use beer or club soda, so what you should be looking at is a tempura type batter which is very light when made correctly. Serve it as soon as possible for optimum lightness and crispiness. -- Food is an important part of a balanced diet. |

Soda would probably do the same thing. You can't really taste the beer, so I don't see the big deal about substituting soda water, unless someone is an alcoholic. N. |

That allergy wouldn't occur to me .. I've not heard of anyone being allergic to yeast, although I'm sure there must be an allergic reaction by someone to every substance we can think of. N. |

Soda water can be carbonated with sodium bicarbonate so it might be the equivalent of adding a touch of salt. Most beer has very little sodium. There exist beers and ales that have very little carbonation but are delicious anyways. They work as an ingredient because of the flavor not their effect on the texture of the batter. > For even different flavor you can sub champagne.

Enjoyed the experience but no champagne in the food just in the cook. |

It drops off the list of foods and you never look back. Been there, done that. For me it was wheat which is more ubicuitous than either yeast or onion. > I can ease off of butter and eggs - > but onion? Mercy! I even like to sprinkle in a fine mist of green onion on > scrambled eggs. I love onions cooked or raw. I can digest the cooked ones. No symptoms other than regular indigestion so I still frequently eat raw onions. I know the price and in that case I'm willing to pay it. |

I had only rice for lunch today (no breakfast, only coffee) and a few hours later I was falling asleep and couldn't keep my eyes open. Even driving home I had to concentrate to stay awake. I'm not talking about a mid to late-day sleepy feeling but a need to sleep even when it was impossible to do so. Could that be a reaction to carbs or a blood sugar reaction? I'm going to be scheduling for spine surgery tomorrow so I'll have to have pre-op tests so I'm sure they'll catch it if my BS is off. Last time it was tested it was about 98. |

It doesn't mean that that's the cause with you, but when running high I get extremely sleepy, the I can hardly my eyes open kind, a really awful feeling IMO. Depends on if you're fasting or not as to whether they catch a high with your BG, if fasting even diabetics can test normal. If you want to test for yourself after your surgery, borrow a meter and eat a lot of carbs, then test at one hour and again at two hours. That should give you a fair idea to discuss with your doctor, and best of luck with your surgery. Cheri |

Last > time it was tested it was about 98. I'd certainly be tempted to blame it on carbs and a system crash after a sugar high. -- Food is an important part of a balanced diet. |
