3 large Spanish onions
vegetable oil
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

Peel onions under running cold water. Cut into 1/4 inch slices and separate into rings. Heat oil (1 inch) in 3-quart saucepan to 375 F.

Beat remaining ingredients with hand beater until smooth. Dip each ring into batter, letting excess drip into bowl.

Fry a few onion rings at a time in hot oil, turning once, until golden brown, about 2 minutes; drain.
