Simple Pleasures


The other night we just wanted a simple dinner - had seen a recipe for onion rings and thought, hey, onion rings and grilled cheese sandwiches sounds simple, decadent and delicious.

Now we must make onion rings everyday!!

Very easy - so tasty...light, crunchy, delicate, crispy!

Easy to prepare! Simply heat about an inch of veg oil in a pan til very hot....and have stack o paper towels for draining.
In one bowl pour some milk or buttermilk
in another pour about a cup of flour and 1/4 c corn meal, pinch o cayenne, salt and pepper
Slice a vidalia onion into thick rings (1/4 - 1/2 inch)
Dredge in milk, then flour mixture, milk, then flour mixture.
By the time you have finished the onion dredging, the oil should be perfect, turn it down a bit if it's smokin' and splattering.

Fry slices about 2-3 min per side, drain on towels. Keep warm and crispy on sheet pan in 350 oven til sandwiches are ready!
Perhaps not the most nutritious thing one can eat, but really pleasurable. And they'll make your sandwich shine!! Have some pickles too.
