French Fried Onion Rings

by Joi on October 2, 2006

1 Cup Pancake Mix
1 egg
1 Tbs. Vegetable Oil
1 bouillon cube (chicken)
1/2 cup boiling water
1 inch oil - at 350 degrees
peeled and sliced onions

Dissolve bouillon cube in boiling water and cool. Beat together pancake mix, egg, and oil. Add cooled bouillon mixture.

Dip onion rings, one at a time into the batter. Drain the rings for a minute before putting them into the heated oil. Be careful not to overfry - Golden Brown, perfect. Dark Brown, not so perfect.

I’m not exactly sure why, but some of the best food you can ever hope to eat comes by way of the Amish. I think part of it comes from the fact that food is such an important part of their lives -dinnertime, for the Amish, isn’t just nourishment - it’s also entertainment!

They’re notorious for their skillmanship, cooking, canning, crafts, etc. They’re brilliant and we could all learn a thing or twenty from them.

I’m most impressed with their culinary brilliance, and frequently use Amish-based recipes in my own cooking. The recipe above is a pretty clever way to approach onion rings - they’re different and suprisingly good.
