Gluten Free Onion Rings

Put 1/2 gallon of oil in a large, heavy bottomed pan and heat oil to 350 degrees F.

Slice onions using a mandolin – cutting them 1/4-inch thick – or you can hand cut.

Put sliced onions in a bowl with 1 quart of milk to soak.

Combine pancake mix, corn meal, salt, eggs, and the 1 1/2 cups of water or milk. Whisk to combine. It should be a little thicker than pancake batter.

Dip onion rings in batter and place on a rack placed on top of a cookie sheet.

Fry rings in the hot oil – do this in batches for approximately 2-4 minutes or until golden brown. When they are done, remove them from the oil to a paper towel lined plate and repeat to fry the remaining onions. Rings will darken in color as they sit.
