I was looking for an onion ring recipe without eggs and I found this one. I had a bit of trouble at first getting the batter to stick on the rings but I think my oil was not hot enough at first. I thought these were pretty good but I prefer a fluffier batter on my onion rings. I served this with French Fry Sauce recipe#67023 for a special treat!Reply
