Beer Battered Onion Rings

For the batter:
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon of finely chopped herbs of your choice
1 egg
1 tbsp melted butter
1/2 cup beer
1 tsp salt
1 egg white, beaten to stiff peaks

Whisk first six ingredients together until smooth.  Fold in the egg white and allow to sit for an hour or so.
Heat oven to 140C.  Have tray ready to place onion rings on while the rest cooks.
Heat oil to 190C.  Dry each onion ring with a paper towel.  I gave them a whirl in a salad spinner.  Dip into batter and swish around until thoroughly coated.  Gently place in the oil and fry until golden brown.  Remove to tray in oven and continue frying until all the onion rings are done.
