Fried Onion Rings


                 3      large         Spanish onions
                 3      cups   vegetable oil
                 1/2    cup           milk
                 1                    egg
                 3/4    cup           all-purpose flour
                 1/2    tsp           salt
                 1/2    tsp           chili powder 
                 1/4    tsp           cayanne pepper

  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.       4 servings.
