Ingredients
- 4 medium white onions
- 1 cup milk , whole or 2%
- 3 eggs , beaten
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 cups pancake mix
- canola oil , for frying
Instructions
- Slice your onions into rings 1/4 inch thick.
- In a large ziploc bag as the onions, eggs, milk and salt.
- Close the bag TIGHTLY with some air in it so it is kind of like a pillow and carefully shake until all combined.
- Let the air out, reclose and put in the fridge for as long as you can up to 2 hours.
- 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!
- Using tongs tap excess pancake mix off onions against the side of the bag.
- 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)
- Fry rings until golden brown 1-2 minutes.
- Drain fried onion rings on brown paper bag or on a cooling rack.
