Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 8
• 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup plain soymilk (rice or almond milk will work, too)
• 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2-1 teaspoon dried chipotle powder, to taste
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 large sweet onions, sliced to desired thickness (1/2 inch slices recommended for restaurant style rings, 1/4 inch or less for onion strings)
• 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour (to dredge)
• olive oil (to fry)

Recipe

• 1 preheat a pan of olive oil deep enough to float the rings to 375 degrees.
• 2 in a mixing bowl, mix ground flaxseed in water and set aside 2-3 minutes until it hits a gooey "egg-y" texture.
• 3 add in oil, milk, salt, pepper and baking powder.
• 4 whisk until smooth.
• 5 dredge onions in flour and quickly dip them into the batter mixture.
• 6 place enough battered rings to cover the pan in preheated oil and let them float and fry for about 2 minutes. flip when they achieve a pleasant brown color around the outer edges. fry 2 more minutes on the flip side, remove with tongs and set onto a plate covered in many layers of paper towels to soak up excess oil.
• 7 try to keep your hands off them until they're ready for the table.
• 8 gloat at non-vegan friends who say you never get to eat any fun foods.
