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.
