I worked at Sonic as a teenager and had to help make the onion rings EVERY DAY…the secret is using vanilla ice milk mix, but using melted vanilla ice milk works just as well.

Sliced and separated Spanish onions
Pan or bowl of water
Pan or bowl of all purpose flour
Pan or bowl of melted vanilla ice milk
Pan or bowl of ground corn meal
Cookie sheet for air drying

Place above items on counter in order listed. Dip onion in water, then flour (shake off excess), dip in melted ice milk, then corn meal. Gently shake off excess and place on cookie sheet to air dry for at least 20 minutes.
Fry until browned.

Sifting the flour and corn meal once in a while keeps lumps out and makes it easier to coat the rings When placing on cookie sheets to save room, lean on top of each other to allow entire ring to dry.
