Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Slice your onions into rings 1/4 inch thick.
  2. In a large ziploc bag as the onions, eggs, milk and salt.
  3. Close the bag TIGHTLY with some air in it so it is kind of like a pillow and carefully shake until all combined.
  4. Let the air out, reclose and put in the fridge for as long as you can up to 2 hours.
  5. 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!
  6. Using tongs tap excess pancake mix off onions against the side of the bag.
  7. 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)
  8. Fry rings until golden brown 1-2 minutes.
  9. Drain fried onion rings on brown paper bag or on a cooling rack.
