Buy sweet onions, cut the rings fairly thick, spearate them, put them in a large bowl, cover with water, add ice cubes, refrigerate for 6 hours.

INGREDIENTS:
1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 large sweet onions, sliced
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 egg yolks
3/4 cup beer

PREPARATION:
Mix together the flour, salt, pepper, oil and egg yolks. Gradually whisk in the beer. Refrigerate the batter 3 to 4 hours before using.

Dip chilled rings into chilled batter.
Deep-fry in batches in 370° oil until golden brown.

Batter recipe is from southernfood.about.com/.../blbb352.htm, but you can get more by going to www.google.com and entering "free recipe onion rings."

Have fun!

Cheers,

Sorry, Paula Jo. Forgot to mention. Drain and pat dry the rings before dipping in batter.

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.

4 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.
