Onion Rings

For batter, in a mixing bowl combine 3/4 c all-purpose flour, 2/3 cup milk, 1 egg, 1 tbsp cooking oil, and 1/4 tsp salt. Using a rotary beater, beat just until smooth.

In a large skillet heat 1 inch cooking oil or melted shortening for deep frying to 365 degrees. Meanwhile, cut 4 medium-sized mild yellow or white onions into 1/4 inch slices; seperate into rings.

Using a fork, dip onion rings into batter; drain off excess batter. Fry onion rings, a few at a time, in a single layer in hot oil 2 to 3 minutes or until golden, stirring once or twice with a fork to seperate rings. Remove rings from oil; drain on paper towel.
