Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray 2 large cookie sheets with nonstick spray. Cut onion into 1/2 inch thick slices. Separate slices into rings. In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs and garlic. Set aside. Place milk, flour, and egg whites into 3 separate small bowls. Dip each onion ring into milk, flour, egg white and bread crumbs (in that same order). Place on prepared cookie sheets and bake for 20 minutes. Turn onion rings over and bake till golden brown, about 10 minutes longer.

Sift flour, cornmeal, salt and baking powder. Add oil, eggs, and milk, mixing thoroughly. Dip onion rings into batter. Fry in hot deep vegetable oil for 2-3 mins. on each side (watch closely), till golden brown. Drain on paper towel lined platter and salt lightly.
*Can use beer instead of milk, if preferred.
This batter is also good when frying fish.

Whisk together flour, beer, and 2 teaspoons salt; cover and let stand for 3 hours. meanwhile soak onion slices in ice water or milk. Remove onions; place on wire rack, allowing excess water to drip off. Pat dry.
Dip onions into batter, allowing excess to drip off. Add to oil and fry until golden on both sides. Drain on paper towels. Salt light and serve hot.

I just buy a bag of yellow onions to use and just judge as I go how much I will need. Slice onions and separate into rings. Soak in milk a few minutes. Mix flour, baking powder and salt. Remove onion rings from milk and drain. Mix milk, egg and add slowly to flour mixture. Stir until smooth. Dip onion rings into batter so they are covered. Fry in medium hot oil deep enough to cover. You can add 1/4 cup oil to mixture but I think they are too greasy then. Cook until nice and golden brown.

By ShellyE (Guest Post)11/04/20064 HOURS BEFORE FRYING THE RINGS
1) Cut onions into 1" rings
2) Place in ice water, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate
3) In a non-metallic bowl mix 1 1/2 cup regular flour with 1 12oz can of beer. Don't worrry if it's a little lumpy, it won't be for long.
4) Cover beer mixture bowl with a clean kitchen towel and place in a warm place on counter
4HOURS LATER IT'S TIME TO COOK THE RINGS
1) Heat oil in deep fryer or tall pot if you don't have a fryer.
2) Drain water from rings and pat dry
3) Place dry rings into a plastic bag to which you've added some flour and salt & pepper to taste and shake to coat.
4) Stir beer/flour mixture and add a few flour coated onion rings to the bowl
5) Remove the onion rings from the beer/flour mixture with tongs and add to the hot oil until golden brown.
6) Remove rings from oil with tongs onto paper towels to drain....sprinkle with salt if desired
REPEAT steps 4 through 6
Enjoy!
