ReplyDeleteyummy - can almost hear the crunch
ReplyDeleteYummo, scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteMoondust ~ the secret is the Panko! Very crunchy!
ReplyDeleteOh my! This looks incredible... Must add this to my recipe file.
ReplyDeletevidalias are the bomb...love them sauteed in butter...mmm...i could eat vidalias like apples...
ReplyDeleteDear Betsy,
ReplyDeleteI wanted to take a minute to wish you and all five of your men a most wonderful and fulfilling summer vacation ....
Brian ~ sauteed in butter...my favorite way to top a steak! yum! We've been eating them on and in everything! :)
ReplyDeleteHelen ~ you are so sweet to think of us! Yes, pray for me! I'll need it with a house full ALL summer!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I wish I'd had this recipe earlier today, it would have complimented the barbecue just perfect !
ReplyDeleteThat's OK, July 4th is just around the corner, I'll be practicing in the meantime.
Wishing you and your boys, a wonderful summertime together....
Hello YUM! Good thing I don't have a deep fryer. I'd be in the kitchen right now making some of these.
ReplyDeleteThose do look yummy! You are making my mouth water and it's much too late to be eating.
ReplyDeleteOur old pastor moved away to Vidalia, Georgia. I wonder if they serve Vidalia onion rings there?
Carolyn ~ you can use a DEEP stock pot and a candy thermometer...just don't leave the stove with the kiddos around!
ReplyDeleteMartha ~ I bet they do serve them there....besides growing them!
A true southern favorite! We have friends that live in Vidalia, Georgia. As a wedding gift they gave me a cookbook devoted exclusively to cooking Vidalia onions!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh.
ReplyDeleteThose look delicious.
Onion rings are a weakness of mine (among other things!).

I only found out about Vidalia onions in the late 90's. They are so yummy.
ReplyDeleteOh Yum.... Sounds like a great recipe and they look so crispy!!
ReplyDeleteOh yum. They would have been wonderful with our roasted corn on the cob and brats at the "Brat Fest" this weekend. That sounds like a Wisconsin thing doesn't it? :-)
ReplyDeleteCan't remember the last time I had onion rings. Gotta watch the salt, though. ;-)
ReplyDeleteOK, my plate is held ot with a big, "Please Miss, can I have some more? " :)
ReplyDeleteIt is a good thing I did not have this recipe earlier today. It does make me want to get out the deep fryer and make some with Buttermilk Fried Chicken. I put the deep fryer away because I was frying everything and was not good for my weight, but funny thing is that my weight still is not going down. Maybe I should just get out the fryer anyway because at least I was enjoying everything fried. Oh those shoestring french fries are so yummy too. Okay, I better get the steamer out and the wok....
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Drooooooooooooool! Sorry...there was a place we'd go, just for th' onion rings. Sadly under new owners that could care less about homemade goodies...making note to get some Vadalias...and Panko( I ken just which aisle it's in, at the grocery ) ;)
ReplyDeleteI have to confess a deep dislike of onions but I will cut out and keep the recipe for the GLW. She likes them. She likes everything.
ReplyDeleteI haven't used Panko.....I will next time! Look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI bought a bag of vidalias last week
Alan ~ she even likes you! LOL! :)
ReplyDeletethey look and sound delicious, makes me want to go out and get a fryer!
ReplyDeletelove vidalias!
You just made me very hungry!
ReplyDeleteThese sound delicious, which I'd found you yesterday! Can't wait to try them! Thank YOu!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmmmmmm! Wow!!! Those look absolutely amazing!!! You've made me ravenous!!! I'm going to have to try this recipe!! You are so multi-talented, dear Betsy! Your family is soooo fortunate!!! ~Janine XO
ReplyDeleteTin Rabbit ~ hi there...so great to 'meet' you...I'll come visit you soon. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteYUM!!! sounds superb. (I see now from the comments that everyone thought they sounded yummy. Were they as good as they look?)
