6 medium Bermuda or Georgia sweet onions
1 slightly beaten egg
1 c. milk
3 Tbsp. cooking oil
1 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
Cooking oil for deep frying
Peel and cut onions into 1/4 inch thick slices; separate into rings and set aside.
In medium bowl, combine beaten egg, milk, and 3 tablespoons oil. Blend in flour and salt just until moistened.
Fill deep-fat fryer (or 2-3 quart saucepan) 1/3 to 1/2 full of cooking oil. Heat oil to 375°. Using fork, dip onion rings, one at a time, in batter to cover. Let excess drip back into bowl.
Place each ring in hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes or until brown.
Keep cooked onion rings warm in a paper towel lined baking sheet in a 200° oven. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
