The batter on these onion rings was too thick.

These onion rings were a bit too greasy for my taste.

I made these onion rings for my family and they loved them. They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

I'm not a huge fan of onion rings, but these were really good. The batter was light and crispy, and the onions were cooked perfectly.

These were so easy to make and they were so delicious! I served them with a dipping sauce made with ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard. Yum!

I've made onion rings before, but they never turned out as crispy as these. I think the key is in the double-dipping. Thanks for the great recipe!
