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.
