French Fried Onions

Ingredients

2 or 3 big sweet onions (shallots are a good variation)
enough milk for soaking onions
1 1/2 – 2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
pepper
gluten-free flour (see notes*)
oil for frying

*Note 1 – The recipe author makes her own gluten-free flour by combining 1/2 cup rice flour, 1/2 cup soy flour.

*Note 2 – You can also make your own gluten-free flour by blending 4 cups rice flour, 4 cups bean flour, 4 cups potato starch, 2 cups tapioca flour, and 7 tsp guar gum.

Instructions

1 – Measure gluten-free flour, salt, and pepper and put into a zip lock bag.

2 – Slice the onions and separate into rings.

3 – Heat oil in a large frying pan. Oil should be about an inch deep. When the oil is hot enough, a flick of water will make the oil sizzle.

4 – Soak the onions in milk for a few minutes. (Don’t try to do all the onions at once. Just one batch at a time.)

5 – Dredge the onions in the gluten-free flour. Give them a good coating of flour.

6 – Place the onions in the frying pan with the heated oil.

7 – When the onions start to float to the top turn them over and cook until just golden brown.

8 – When the onion rings have finished cooking, lay them on a paper bag or paper towels to cool/drain some oil.

9 – Store in air-tight container, top your casserole, or eat them.
