I have been lucky and found I can tolerate corn products. The small amount of rice flour is pretty insignificant once in a while also. Tonight was good and a beautiful night for a grilled dinner. Hamburgers on the grill (yes I eat the burger without a bun) and homemade onion rings. Yes!! I modified an old recipe and even the onion ring lovers in the house thought they were great. It has been a long time since I have eaten an onion ring and not regretted doing so.

Tortilla Crumb-Crusted Onion Rings

1 cup all-purpose gluten free flour

21/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp white pepper

2 eggs, beaten

1 cup milk

1 1/2 cups tortilla crumbs

1 large white onion (or vidalia)

Oil for frying

Mix the flour, salt and white pepper. Add the eggs, milk, whisk gently until smooth.

Stir in 1/2 cup of tortilla crumbs. Spread remaining crumbs on a plate.

Heat the oil, about 3/4 of an inch, in a large heavy skillet (about 375 degrees).

Peel onion and cut crosswise into 1/2 thick rings, separate the slices. Dip each ring in batter and then use a spoon to sprinkle crumbs over rings. (Work quickly so batter doesn't drip off the rings before they get in the hot oil). Put onion ring carefully in the hot oil. Cook until underside is golden-about 2 minutes. Turn and cook another 2 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Continue until all onion rings are gone. These won't last!! They are nice and crispy!

* I have purchased tortilla crumbs at Meijer- if you can't find them just use regular tortilla chips and crush them in a food processor. Make sure to sprinkle them over battered rings or the mixture clumps together.
