1 egg
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/8 teaspoon cumin
1 oil for deep-fat frying
2 large onions, sliced thick, then separated into rings

Combine egg, milk, flour, and seasonings and mix until the batter is smooth. Heat about 2 inches of oil in the Dutch oven. This will take about 16 - 20 coals (350°–375°) at bottom heat only. Dip the onion slices into the batter, then fry them in the hot oil, a few at a time. Turn them over to cook both sides, then remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve with ketchup, ranch dressing, or horseradish sauce.
