Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
6 oz onion slices (1 large onion)
1 egg
1 Tbs milk
3/4 C flour
1 tsp salt (I love Lawry's!)
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
vegetable oil for frying

Directions:
You'll need three bowls. One with an egg and a little milk, one with some white flour and seasonings, and one with your sliced onions. You can slice your onions however you like. I slice them about 1/8-1/4" wide and then quarter the slice of whole onion so the pieces are only an inch or two long. Take a small handful of onions at a time and dunk them in the egg. Lift them up and let any excess egg drip off. We don't want to deep fry clumps of egg here.
After they've had a dunk in the egg, then just toss them around in the flour mixture until everything is coated. This is where you can personalize, add seasonings to your heart's delight.

So, heat 2 inches of oil to 350 degrees. Make sure to use a pot with sides (as opposed to a skillet style pan) so the oil doesn't boil over when you add the onions). Working with a handful of onions at a time, place onions in hot oil and cook until golden brown. Remove and place on folded paper towels to absorb oil. Repeat process until all onions are fried.

Yield: About 4 C of shoestring onions. Note that this is a lot! If you're not going to use extra for snacking, you may want to half the recipe. These are perfect for burgers, and especially green bean casserole.
