Any advice on Making Onion Rings?
My mother gave us a Share box, Thanksgiving edition, plus some extras thrown in. All of a sudden I need buy nothing for Thanksgiving except maybe sweet potatoes, and perhaps brocolli or asparagus to have some green on the plate. And perhaps some baking ingredients.
The trouble is, we already have a bag of onions from last time, and now we have another. After the last one, I was thinking onion rings, but forgot in the interim.
So. What does one use for batter and are there any other tips?
Of course, I think I asked this before, so I should probably go look, but putting up a fresh post is easier. Heck, I could Google it, the same way people do when they’re trying to come up with new company, product or web site names…
I use pancake batter. Its just the right amount of breading.

I also chop onions very fine and cook them with ground beef - allows you to stretch the ground beef and makes box mixes taste better. You can use 2/3 pound ground beef and a cup of chopped onions in place of a pound of ground beef in hamburger helper and other mixes, or in chili.

Posted by Wayne on 11/20 at 09:23 AMWith that many onions you GOTTA make Bloomin’ onions. Like they sell at outback. Just slice the onion cross wise (not cutting all the way through then slice it the opposite direction (again not cutting all the way through) and spread out the “petals”, dip in your batter and put in oil bloom side down.
I make these often but I have one of the one step slicers made for bloomin’ onions.
They’re great and perfect for partys.
Let us know what you end up doing with ‘em.
