#2379 - Fried Onion Rings

(by Shirley McNevich)

1/2 cup flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 beaten egg
1/4 cup milk
1 TBSP canola oil + extra for frying
1 large onion (sliced and separated into rings)

In a bowl add flour, salt, baking powder, egg, milk and 1 TBSP canola oil--stir to make the batter. Add canola oil to a frying pan (about 1/2" deep)--turn heat to medium and heat the oil until a drop of water dropped into the oil sizzles. Coat each onion in the batter and put them immediately into the hot oil. Brown onion rings on both sides and set them on paper towels to drain.
