Steps:
- Put the onions in a large bowl and cover with milk. Let soak for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, using a fine-sieve over a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, 2 teaspoons salt, chili powder, and cumin, if using. Stir in the beer until a smooth batter is formed. Set aside.
- Drain the onions and transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Blot the onions with paper towels until dry.
- In a large, wide heavy-bottomed pot, pour in the oil to a depth of about 2 inches. Place over medium heat and heat to 400 degrees F. (The oil must be heated to 400 degrees F. since the temperature drops oil to about 375 degrees F. when the onions are added.)
- Working in batches, transfer about 8 to 10 of the onions to the batter and mix to coat well. Using tongs, pull several of the onions out of the batter, and let any excess batter fall back into the bowl. Carefully add to the oil and fry, flipping once, until golden brown and crispy, about 3 1/2 minutes per batch. Using the tongs, transfer to a dry paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain. Sprinkle with salt to taste. Repeat with the remaining onions. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Cut edges off onion, and remove outer layer. Cut onion into 1/2 inch wide slices, and separate into rings. Next, fill a small bowl (just large enough for onion rings to fit in) with Egg Beaters.
- Using a blender or food processor, grind Fiber One cereal to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Pour crumbs onto a small dish.
- One by one, coat each ring in egg and then crumbs (give each ring a shake after the egg bath). Place on an oven-safe baking dish sprayed with nonstick spray. Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping rings over about halfway through.
- **Although you'll only actually use a quarter cup, it may be easier to dunk the rings if you dole out a bit more Egg Beaters while preparing.

Tips:
- For the crispiest onion rings, use a light batter and fry them in hot oil until golden brown.
- To make the batter, use a combination of flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Add water or milk to create a smooth batter that coats the onion rings evenly.
- Use a deep fryer or a large pot filled with oil to fry the onion rings. The oil should be at least 3 inches deep.
- Fry the onion rings in batches so that they don't overcrowd the pot. This will help them cook evenly.
- Once the onion rings are golden brown, remove them from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Serve the onion rings immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
