SOUTHERN-FRIED SWEET ONION RINGS
Thin enough to flash-fry but thick enough to let the sweet onion flavor shine through, these onion rings work well as a side dish but also are great as a stand-alone snack. Less is more when dipping the rings in the buttermilk mixture and then the flour mixture. Be delicate in the coating process, and make sure to let as much liquid and then as much flour fall off as possible. Less breading means less grease absorption and a crisper finished product. The flour should be as fine as possible, so reserve half of the flour mixture. When the first batch starts to get wet and gummy, replace it with the remaining half. The oil temperature matters, too. Heat the oil to at least 360 degrees, and fry the rings in batches. They cook so quickly it is easy to get through the frying in 10 minutes. Keep them warm in a 200 degree oven until all the frying is done.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large heavy pot. It should be at least 3 inches deep, but more is better.
- In a wide shallow bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, cornstarch and cayenne. In a second bowl, beat egg and buttermilk. Separate onion slices into rings.
- Working in batches, lightly toss the rings in the flour mixture, then dip into the buttermilk mixture. Allow most of the liquid to drip off, then toss again in the flour mixture. Shake off as much flour as possible and place the rings into the hot oil.
- Fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown, moving the rings around a bit in the oil to keep them separated.
- Put the onion rings on a plate or bowl lined with paper towel and salt. Repeat until the onions are done.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
- Separate the onion slices into rings, and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Dip the onion slices into the flour mixture until they are all coated; set aside. Whisk the egg and milk into the flour mixture using a fork. Dip the floured rings into the batter to coat, then place on a wire rack to drain until the batter stops dripping. The wire rack may be placed over a sheet of aluminum foil for easier clean up. Spread the bread crumbs out on a plate or shallow dish. Place rings one at a time into the crumbs, and scoop the crumbs up over the ring to coat. Give it a hard tap as you remove it from the crumbs. The coating should cling very well. Repeat with remaining rings.
- Deep fry the rings a few at a time for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove to paper towels to drain. Season with seasoning salt, and serve.

SPICY SWEET ONION RINGS
These are truly something different...an onion ring recipe calling for condensed milk & chipotle peppers! The original version in Southern Living magazine used 1/4 cup of jalapeños, but I like the slightly smoky flavor the chipotles add. Our family likes these served with ranch dressing.

DELICIOUS ONION RINGS
Here is an easy and different onion ring recipe. I've heard people talk before about ice cream being used for onion rings, but had never seen a recipe for it, so I came up with this. Cooking time depends on how many rings you fry at once, and how hot the oil is, so the 20 minutes is just a guess.

Tips:
- Use Sweet Onions: Vidalia, Maui, or Walla Walla onions are great choices for their mild and sweet flavor.
- Slice Evenly: Consistent thickness ensures even cooking and a visually appealing presentation.
- Dry the Onion Rings: Before coating, pat the onion rings dry to help the batter adhere better.
- Double Coat the Onion Rings: For extra crispy rings, dip them in the buttermilk mixture, then the flour mixture, and then back in the buttermilk mixture before frying.
- Use Neutral Oil: Canola, vegetable, or grapeseed oil are good choices for frying as they have a high smoke point and won't overpower the flavor of the onion rings.
- Fry in Small Batches: Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking and prevent the oil temperature from dropping too much.
- Drain on Paper Towels: After frying, place the onion rings on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Season with Salt Immediately: While still hot, sprinkle the onion rings with salt to enhance their flavor.
- Serve Hot: Onion rings are best enjoyed fresh out of the fryer when they are crispy and flavorful.
