Onion Rings Poutine

What happens when you take two of gods most precious gifts and role them into one? You get onion rings poutine.. This was to die for.. Any poutine lover has to take a try of this twisted classic. The onion rings, cooked to perfection in a crunchy batter. Way better than any freezer bought, or for that matter restaurant onion rings.

5. Dip the onion slices into the flour mixture until they are all coated and dip the floured rings into the batter to coat, then shake slightly over sink or tinfoil to remove excess batter or until the batter stops dripping. 
6. Spread the bread crumbs out in a bowl and place rings one at a time into the crumbs, and scoop the crumbs up over the ring to coat. The coating should cling very well. Repeat with remaining rings.
7. Begin to make gravy mixture as desciribed on package. Most use 250ml water to package gravy. Stir constantly until begins to bubble and cook for one more minute over medum heat

  4. This, this is not Poutine, and not because it's Onion Rings, but because you used shredded cheese. Poutine MUST be made with cheese curds, nothing more and nothing less, 0/10 would not bang. ;3
