Prepare onion by slicing in half. Use a sharp knife or mandoline to slice the onion very thin.

Soak sliced onion in milk for 30 minutes.

In a medium bowl, combine dry ingredients.

Preheat vegetable to 350°F in a deep fryer or a large stockpot.

Coat a handful of onion slices in the flour mixture. Shake off excess flour. Fry for 2 minutes or until just golden.
