Onion Rings

A little while back for a whole week I had to read one book once a day to the two little boys. The book I read was called "Night of the Moonjellies" and in it was a little boy called Mark, whose grandmother owned a fast-food shop with her sister. There was nothing particularly amazing about this shop, except that the illustrations in the book made the food look so real and gourmet, even the pop-corn looked more welcoming than usual! One thing that had me watering at the mouth was the onion rings- the description of how they were cooked was so exquisite! I have not had chance to make them until just the other day. Wow, were they a success!!!


In these photos they look somewhat more like patties rather than rings, but I think that's just because these ones didn't separate as they were cooked.


And if you should ever desire to make them, here is the recipe:

Onion Rings

Cut onions in rings. Dip in the following mixture and fry in oil. 1/2 cup flour 1/4 tsp.salt 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1 lightly beaten egg 1/4 cup milk.

As you can tell they are really basic instructions! I was a little confused as I went through the steps, but I figured it all out with Mum's help :) If you need anything confirmed, just ask!

Happy Cooking!
