Battered Onion Rings


Every once in a while we like to make something good and fried as a special treat. These onion rings are actually way better than the kind that you buy at a restaurant. A lot of times in a restaurant you bite through the crunchy outside only to have a slimy onion that you can hardly bite and usually slips right out of the breading. My husband told me that is because onion rings from restaurants have usually been frozen and re-cooked so the onion gets really soft. But these were the perfect texture. Soft enough to enjoy but firm enough to bite through.

1 large sweet onion
2 eggs
3 Tbsp evaporated milk
3 Tbsp water
Salt and Pepper
Flour to thicken

Combine ingredients, making sure to add plenty of salt (it took a lot more than we thought). Also, leave the mixture at a somewhat runny consistency. If you add too much flour the batter will be very thick and the rings won't get crispy enough. Deep fry until golden brown. If using a more shallow pan you will have to flip them. Enjoy!
