1 c. all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 egg, well beaten
1 c. milk
1 tbsp. salad oil
4 sweet Spanish onions

Blend flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. Combine egg, milk and oil in a bowl and beat until thoroughly blended. Beat in dry ingredients until batter is smooth. Cover and set aside while preparing onions. Cut off root end of onions; slip off the loose skin. Slice onions 1/4" thick and separate into rings.

Using a long handled fork, immerse a few onion rings at a time into batter, lift out and drain over bowl a few seconds. Do not crowd into heated oil. Turn only once as they brown. Do not crowd the rings. When rings are golden brown on both sides, lift out and drain on absorbent paper lined baking sheet. Serve hot with salt or garlic salt.
