These deep-fried onion rings have a batter made with cornmeal, flour, egg, and seasonings.

Ingredients:

  • 4 large sweet onions
  • milk
  • 2/3 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour, sift before measuring
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons melted shortening
  • 1 beaten egg
  • 1 2/3 cups milk

Preparation:

Peel onions and slice into rounds 1/4-inch thick. Separate rings; soak in milk for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, mix cornmeal, flour, salt, pepper, melted shortening, egg, and 1 2/3 cups milk to make the batter.

Drain onion rings; dip in batter then in flour. Fry onion rings in batches in deep fat at 370° to 375° for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown.
