Brittany's Crispy Onion Rings

Ingredients

• 2 medium-large sweet onions
• No stick cooking spray
• Egg Coating
  • ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons flour
  • ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons Egg Beaters egg substitute (or equivalent amount of eggs)
  • ¼ cup Lactose-Free Edensoy Vanilla Milk
• Corn Flake Coating
  • 3 ½ cups corn flakes
  • ¼ cup Lactose-free grated Parmesan topping
  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme (Brittany doesn't put the thyme in, and she says it tastes fine)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

1) Cut the onions into ½ inch-thick slices. Separate the slices into rings, and set aside.
2 Combine all of the egg coating ingredients in a shallow bowl , and stir with a wire wisk until smooth. Set aside.
3) Place all of the corn flake coating ingredients in a food processor or blender, and process into fine crumbs. Transfer the corn flake mixture to a shallow dish.
4) Coat a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Dip the onion rings first into the egg mixture, turning to coat well, and then in the corn flake mixture. Arrange the rings in a single layer on the prepared sheet, and spray them lightly with the cooking spray.
5) Bake at 400° F for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the onion rings are crisp and nicely browned. Serve hot.

Comments From Brittany

This is a really good recipe, but I just learned from your website today that some Crohn's sufferers can't have milk. But I hope you like it. I got it out of a great cookbook called "Brand Name Fat-Fighters Cookbook" which is great for me, because I can't have a lot of fat. Thanks a lot. :-)
