These we really good. I substituted whole milk instead of buttermilk and it was fine. Also, I substituted Panko Bread Crumbs instead of cornmeal. Just as good. I am a big believer in using what you have on hand.

These sound great, can't wait to try them. I would really love to find out what kind of deep fryer it is that you have. :

I'm going to give this five stars even though I messed mine up. I loved the taste. These tasted EXACTLY how onion rings should taste. Crunchy, cornmeal crusty, yummy!
I messed up somewhere in the dredging process. I think I needed to let some of that buttermilk drip off before putting it into the paper bag. The paper bag ended up getting all wet, and the onion rings fell out. Then some got coated some didn't. It was a mess. When I put them in the hot oil, they came out looking half done.
But still, they tasted delicious.
Next time, I will forgo the paper bag and just try dredging them in pie plates, and I'll do it a bit more carefully. I'll also try to get thos extra big vidalia onions instead of the regular sized onions.
Thanks Pat and Gina for another great recipe!

I was so excited to make these! My husband said he would prefer a lighter batter--the coating seemed a little heavy for him.

I haven't cooked these onions yet, but the Neelys are so funny, they make me laugh. They are always so happy together. Every marriage should be this happy. I hope they are like that in real life off the screen. Keep up the smiles you guys. (Marie and Ed,we laugh all the time together
