FRIED ONION RINGS OR ZUCCHINI

• 2 c Self-rising flour
• 2 /3 c Yellow cornmeal
• 1 /2 ts Salt
• 1 /2 ts Pepper
• 1 3 /4 c Milk
• 1 Egg, beaten
• 6 lg Onions, 1 /4 " rings or
• 6 Zucchini, 1 /2 " slices
• Vegetable oil

Combine first 4 ingred in a large bowl; beat in milk and egg. Let

stand 5 min. Add onion or zucchini slices to batter in batches and

toss with hands until vegetables are well coated. When you are ready

to fry them, pick up vegetables, allowing excess batter to slide back

into bowl. Place slices immediately in hot oil (375 degrees), and

deep-fry until browned, turning once. Drain in a colander, and

sprinkle with additional salt, if desired.

Note:Don't drain on paper towels; the fried food will get soggy.

Also, try not to stack them tightly. Air needs to circulate around

fried food so it will remain crisp.
