These onion rings were INCREDIBLE. I did make a change, though. I had only written down the dry ingredients, and omitted the egg and used regular milk instead of buttermilk. The batter was the consistency of a think pancake batter. These did not coat the onion rings too thickly, giving you a real onion taste rather than a mouthful of fried batter. In my book they are tops. Oh, and I had no cornmeal so I replaced it with corn muffin mix. Thanks for posting.

<p>A Very Happy Stay At Home Mom!!!! I have a soon to be 11year old that lives with his dad, his name is JayJay, and 3 living at home with me, and 1 on the way....I'm lovin' life! Ashton will be 8 in January, he's the smartest kid I know! Wrylie will be 6 in February and he's got more passion and caring in his little pinkie than most adults I know!!! And my very personal pride and joy Hennessey. She was born on the 27th of September 2007 and she's my little dollbaby. I love being at home with my children..love paying for ALL the stuff my 2nd grader brings home...soccer fees, and basketball fees, and book orders...I love cartin' my kindergartner around, and then coming home and cuddlin' with my little girl, and shopping for her favorite thing...shoes. My husband and I are as tight as 2 people can be, and I hate it when he leaves for work and can't wait until the clock strikes 4:30 because I know that means he's on his way home. Life is good. I couldn't ask for more.</p>
