Thick Cut O Rings And Spicy Dipping Sauce Recipes

THICK CUT O RINGS AND SPICY DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat 1 inch of vegetable or canola oil in a large frying pan over medium high heat.
• Cut onions across into 1-inch rings and separate. Discard the outer layer of skin on your rings. Pour evaporated milk into a small, deep bowl. Mix flour with seasonings in a pie plate or shallow dish. Dip individual rings in milk, then coat in flour. And repeat for a double dip. Fry in a single layer in hot oil until golden brown. Remove to brown paper bag or paper towel lined surface to drain. Salt while hot, to your taste.
• For dipping sauce, combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir.
• Tip: refrigerate your onions and canned evaporated milk when you unpack from the grocery store. The colder the better for making onion rings!
