Onion Rings

Serves 4:
2 - 3 Sweet Onions sliced in 1" thick rings
2 cups flour
1 cup cornstarch

1 can evaporated milk

Canola or vegetable oil
salt and seasonings

Slice up onions. Pour oil into a heavy bottomed pot/pan 1" deep. Heat oil on medium to medium high heat. If you use a pot with high sides (like a soup pot) it will help with oil splashing out of the pan.

Mix flour and cornstarch and pour into a pie tin, cake pan, or plate. Pour evaporated milk into a separate pie tin, pan, or plate. Dip each onion ring in milk, then flour mixture, then milk again and then flour mixture once more. Place in heated oil and cook for about 2 minutes, flip and cook for approximately 2 more minutes or until batter is golden brown. Remove from oil and place on paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with salt or other seasonings you want.

Sauce:
Mayo
Ketchup
BBQ Sauce
Ranch Dressing
all mixed together in proportions that suit your taste.
