Onion Rings from Leonard's Pit Barbecue

This perfect onion ring recipe comes from the Memphis barbecue icon, Leonard's Pit Barbecue, courtesy of Ardie A. Davis book, Americ'a' best bbq

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup onion powder
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups milk, or more as needed
1 large e3gg
Canola oil, for deep-frying
4 large onions, sliced into 1/2-inch rings

Method

Put the flour, cornmeal, onion powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add 1 1/2 cups milk, the egg, and 1/2 cup water. Whisk until only slightly lumpy. It should have the consistency of pancake batter. If it's too thick, add 1/4 cup milk or more to thin it down.

Put the oil in your deep-fryer and preheat to 365°-375°F (or in a deep pot and measure the oil temperature with a deep-frying thermometer). Di the onion rings in the batter. Fry 3 or 4 coated rings at a time, turning the rings until they are golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the rings from the grease and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.

Serves 6 to 8
