Spiced Onion Rings

1. Combine all the spiced flour ingredients until free of any lumps.

2. In a large saucepan, heat about sixcentimetres of oil to 175 degrees (just hot enough that an onion ring will bubble immediately when you throw it in, but make sure it's not too hot or it will burn).

3. Beat the eggs with the milk until combined.

4. Separate the onion slices into rings, and toss gently in a little oil to coat.  Dust lightly with the plain flour and toss again, coating evenly.

5. Dip the rings through the egg and milk mix, then toss through the spiced flour until fully coated. Fry in batches for about three minutes or until golden and crisp.

6. Drain on paper towels and serve.
