Amazing Crispy Fried Onion Rings
These onion rings are perfectly coated by the batter; not overly thick batter that hides the taste of the onions. I prefer to slice regular onions thin so that the result is a fine, crisp onion ring. I challenge you to try this one out on friends using your favorite recipe. I think it is fantastic and hope you will, too.

DIRECTIONS
- In a 3 quart pot, heat about 3-4 inches of vegetable oil on medium to medium high heat.
- Combine all dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl and mix in milk with a whisk, adding more milk if needed until mixture is the consistency is like a thin-medium pancake batter.
- Cut onions into thin rings and toss in batter.
- Place a single ring into the oil to test for appropriate heat. Onion ring should sizzle and start to brown immediately.
- Place small batches of onion rings into the oil and when they turn dark golden brown on one side, flip them over to the othe side with a slotted spoon or carving fork.
- Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat until all onions are done. (Add a bit more milk to the batter if it appears that the last batch isn't getting coated enough.).
- I like to salt the cooked onion rings, but that is optional.
