1 lb. large onions (sliced and separated into rings)
Vegetable Oil
Directions:
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.
It says to add oil to the eggs and milk but it doesn't say how much. If someone knows, could they email it to dkellum@reflector.msstate.edu? thanks

I use a batter similar to this....I have always had a problem with the batter frying off the onions. To eliminate this problem, I have a pie pan of flour ready, and as I dip them in the batter, I put them in the pan of flour and toss them lightly to cover with the flour. This works for me. I also let my rings set in ice water while the fryer is heating up, then drain and pat dry before battering. I make extras, freeze them on a cookie sheet and store them in a rigid plastic container so they don't get mashed in the freezer. A half gallon ice cream container is perfect for storing them. Just put them in a single layer on a cookie sheet and pop them in the oven to reheat. Harlean from Arkansas
