Cornflake Crusted Onion Rings

The idea behind this recipe comes from a dear friend. I had to come up with the measurements, seasonings and prep, but my first time eating these was at the pleasure of a bestie, and I always give credit where credit is due. Typically we use a beer batter for onion rings and it is goooooood. But, I was walking in the cereal aisle at Market 32, I saw Corn Flakes and I just had to remake a recipe we devoured in my first apartment.

These are simple and delicate and delicious. Smash some corn flakes with a rolling pin, or a meat tenderizer, a bottle of wine, whatever you've got. This is the bread crumbs. Whisk eggs. Season flour in a bowl. You know the drill; flour, egg wash and then coat in the cornflakes. We put a little bit of seasoning it all stages of the breading, then toss these babies into a fryer at 350 degrees for 3-5 minutes depending on how many are going in.

So simple. So delicious. Dig in!
