2/3 c. corn meal
1 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. melted shortening
1 egg
1/4 to 1 c. milk

Beat egg and add rest of ingredients except milk. Add milk carefully, just enough to make a stiff dough. Slice onions and separate in rings. Dip in mixture and fry in deep hot fat.

NOTE: Great for corn dogs, too. Dip wieners in batter and fry in hot fat.
