Made this for a snack for us last night. Not bad, but...
onion sliced into 1/4" rings -- punch out the rings per slice
milk or cream
Mix together in a bag:
3/4 flour
1/4 corn starch
cayenne/paprika/chili powder
sugar
S&P
panko bread crumbs
canola oil
Soak the onions in milk with a bit of salt for about 1/2 hour. Turn occasionally.
Dredge in the flour mix, redip in the milk, dredge in the panko crumbs. Deep fry. A few minutes per side.
Not bad. A wet batter might be better before the panko.
