Both the onion rings and the sauce are very good. I think the sauce will make a good salad dressing also or as a dipping sauce for other deep fried vegetables. (I used it for the onion rings and zucchini coins.) I think I'll try the sauce as a dipper for unbattered radishes, a vegetable that is not one of my favorites. I have tried onion rings with a cornmeal batter and this batter. They are both good, but this one is tops. Thanks for the recipe.

Great batter. I then tried a batch by adding breadcrumbs and a little less milk. I used priorly used frying oil which affected the taste so next time I will use fresh oil which I'm sure will make the difference. The wonderful thing is that the onion rings come out just like the picture. I didn't try the sauce but will do so next time.
