Onion Rings!

Steve and I made a really yummy recipe last night!  I found a recipe for a onion ring batter in my gluten free cookbook.  We both love onion rings and haven't had them in over a year.  I did cheat last summer and get an order of Walla Walla onion rings from Burgerville.  Wel used two large Walla Walla onions at the store for our onion rings.  We made them at Steve's parents house and they enjoyed them too.

Steve hard at work frying the onion rings! All those years making elephant ears at the zoo has finally paid off ;)

Ingredients:

2 large onions (sliced into 1 inch thick rounds)

Batter:

1 cup potato starch (we used Bob's Red Mill)

3/4 cup sorghum flour (Bob's Red Mill)

1 tsp sea salt 

1 tsp baking powder 

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp xanthan gum

1/4 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp paprika

1 tsp onion powder

1/8 tsp turmeric

1 1/4 cup milk

Directions:

Mix all the batter ingredients in a big bowl and whisk until smooth.  Let sit for 5 minutes to allow thickening.

In a deep skillet or sauce pan heat enough oil to cover at least half of the onion rings to 350 degrees.  Be careful not to let the oil get to hot or the batter will burn.

Dip onion slices in the batter and coat thoroughly.  Add battered onion rings to the oil.

Watch carefully and when golden brown flip to the other side.  And finish cooking.

When once cooked place on paper towel to drain.

We saved some of the batter and dips slices of chicken breast in it and fried it up as well.

Enjoy!
