Deep Fried Onion Rings

Ingredients:

• 3 large Spanish onions
• 1/2 cup flour
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon sweet mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 egg, well beaten
• 1/2 cup milk
• cooking oil for deep frying 

Method:

1. Wash and peel onions, cut into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
2. Separate rounds into rings.
3. In a bowl, combine flour, seasonings, and baking powder.
4. In a measuring cup, whisk together egg and milk.
5. Add milk mixture to dry ingredients, blending well. Dip onion rings into batter and fry until golden brown, turning to brown both sides.
6. Remove to paper towels or brown paper bag to drain thoroughly.
7. Sprinkle with a little salt before serving and serve with salsa sauce.

Note: Spanish onions are the best for this recipe as they have a mild, sweet flavour - but you could use red onions if preferred.
