Yield: 4 servings (very large side)
Cuisine: american
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons onion powder; 2 tablespoons salt; 1 tablespoon sugar; 2 heaping tablespoons white self-rising corn meal; 1 egg; 5 cups 2 percent milk; 8 cups plain all-purpose flour; 1 1/2 cups water; 1 1/2 teaspoons yellow food color; 4 jumbo yellow onions; Vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

Using a large mixing bowl, mix all ingredients until no lumps remain. Use jumbo yellow onion rings and slice about 3/4-inch thick.
Coat the onion rings evenly in batter and deep fry at 350 degrees F in vegetable oil just until batter sticks to the rings. Remove the rings from the vegetable oil and drain well, then refrigerate the rings for 2 to 4 hours. You can keep refrigerated for 1 to 2 days loosely covered.
When ready to serve, drop the onion rings into 350 degrees F vegetable oil until golden brown.
