My Type 2 hubby doesn;t miss many things, like french fries, potatoes
etc. He does enjoy onion rings; in fact he asks me to order them , so
that he can snitch JUST ONE...true!

I made a batter tonight with 1/8 c flour; 3/8 c. carbquick... a little
baking powder, and ice water. I would have used a smidge of LC beer
instead of water., but I had finished it!! The beer that is).

I cut the onion in largish slices (1/8-1/4 inch). Dunked them in the
"stuff" and fried them in canola oil. I know there was fat, but the
entree was garlic shrimp (virtually no carbs) and Coleslaw, also made
virtually no-carb.

Since it was a treat, and relatively good, I warmed a Low-carb Pita
bread, so he could eat the "glop"

Just an idea for a "feast" night~~

Before I knew of my food allergies, and when we lived in an area that had
one, we used to dine at Sizzler. I could get a couple of plates of salad
and one plate that had two onion rings, a bit of potato, maybe a bit of
pasta, other carby things. Worked for me.

I can't eat onion rings now because of the allergies. I suppose I could
come up with some recipe that I'm not allergic to but it hardly seems worth
the bother.

Have you tried making pancakes with Carbquik? I don't know what they do
to that flour but it just doesn't spike me and it tastes great.
