Onion Rings and Onion Patties

Onion Rings

2 large onions
milk
1 cup flour
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
2 eggs
salt and pepper to taste
Oil for frying

Slice onions 3/4 inch thick and place in a bowl. Cover with milk and set aside.

Place flour in a shallow bowl and season with salt and pepper.

Combine both bread crumbs in a separate shallow bowl and season with salt and pepper.

Beat eggs in a small bowl.

Dredge onions rings in flour then egg then bread crumbs.

Fry in a large skillet until golden brown on both sides.

Drain on paper towels and keep in a warm oven.

Onion Patties

Onion Patties taste like onion rings, and are easier to make.  They look just like potato pancakes when you fry them and taste terrific. I found this recipe in an Amish Cookbook.

¾ cup flour

1-tablespoon sugar

1-tablespoon corn meal

2 teaspoons baking powder

1-teaspoon salt

2/3-cup milk

2-½ cups finely chopped onion

Mix dry ingredients together, and then add milk. Batter should be fairly thick. Add onions. Mix thoroughly. Drop by spoonfuls into hot oil. Flatten and brown on both sides.

Tastes just like fried onion rings and makes a great side dish with grilled steak.

Enjoy.
