Here is a recipe that I use. Cut the onions into rings and put in a bowl (not metal) with ice water and let sit for at least 4 hours. Drain. Get three bowls and put in each: 1 cup flour in one 2 eggs, beaten in one 2 cups Ritz crackers crushed* Dip the rings in the flour,eggs then cracker crumbs You can now fry the rings or cover loosley and put in the fridge till ready to fry. I usually cut the rings in the morning, then drain and coat after lunch and put in fridge till just before dinner then fry. These taste like the A&W onion rings. * you can substitute regular crackers for the Ritz if you don't have any on hand.
