CRISPY THIN ONION RINGS (WITH A SECRET INGREDIENT!)

Steps:

• Slice your onions into rings 1/4 inch thick.
• In a large ziploc bag as the onions, eggs, milk and salt.
• Close the bag TIGHTLY with some air in it so it is kind of like a pillow and carefully shake until all combined.
• Let the air out, reclose and put in the fridge for as long as you can up to 2 hours.
• Drain the onions and toss with the pancake mix (ok I will be honest here I use a second large ziploc bag, add the pancake mix and onions and shake....NO dishes or mess! Only a frying pan to wash!
• Using tongs tap excess pancake mix off onions against the side of the bag.
• In a cast iron skillet add oil 1/3 the way up the pan (I use my skillet, if you use a pot, add a couple inches worth of oil)
• Fry rings until golden brown 1-2 minutes.
• Drain fried onion rings on brown paper bag or on a cooling rack.

AMAZING CRISPY FRIED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• In a 3 quart pot, heat about 3-4 inches of vegetable oil on medium to medium high heat.
• Combine all dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl and mix in milk with a whisk, adding more milk if needed until mixture is the consistency is like a thin-medium pancake batter.
• Cut onions into thin rings and toss in batter.
• Place a single ring into the oil to test for appropriate heat. Onion ring should sizzle and start to brown immediately.
• Place small batches of onion rings into the oil and when they turn dark golden brown on one side, flip them over to the othe side with a slotted spoon or carving fork.
• Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat until all onions are done. (Add a bit more milk to the batter if it appears that the last batch isn't getting coated enough.).
• I like to salt the cooked onion rings, but that is optional.
