Not bad but not great. The batter coated and stayed on the onions well. This is my first time deep frying but the recipe worked well. It lacked any real flavor it tasted just like the recipe says. I liked the slightly sweet flavor but everytime I had a bite I couldn't help but think it was lacking spices. I probably won't try this *exact* recipe again but may try and "imprve" it by replacing the water with beer and adding salt, pepper and maybe some additional spices. Thanks

This is the best recipe for onion rings. I add a few spices and they taste just like the BBQ restaurant down the road. YUM!

Whoda thunk? Pancake mix! I've been looking for the perfect onion rings recipe for years and here it is! I didn't quite understand the "lazy" comment. I love to cook from scratch, but I'm all about easy & delicious. I cooked these in a really heavy pan on the stove on high heat, turning them once and they came out perfect! I didn't add any seasoning, but I might play around with that next time. Thanks!

I liked the way that some of these turned out...unfortunately I had a very hard time keeping the batter on the onion while frying. I didn't have the sweet problem like some other reviewers and those that turned out ok tasted really good. Thanks for the post, but I think I will keep trying to find a recipe that will work better.

Tried this recipe tonite and it was awesome. I used a buttermilk pancake mix and they came out great.

I thought these were great. I used Jiffy baking mix. The mix stayed on the onion very well. As soon as I took them out of the oil I added salt. These were just as good as any restaurant.

It seems kind of lazy to just use a pancake mix. And plus, a pancake mix isn't exactly lying around my house right now.

These were ok. A little too light and spongy for me though.

These were pretty good but a bit greasy. I made the batter too thick and they puffed up too much. Would probably make these again but make the batter according to the box directions.

Great idea to use the pancake mix! I would highly recommend using your choice of seasoning. The only reason I gave this recipe 4 stars was because the coating is a little spongy. Will add this to my recipe book.

WOW!! I used Krusteez pancake batter and it was perfect! It didn't even need salt. I used the batter for french fries and that was awesome too, but with potatoes it did need some seasoning. I will never have to order onion rings again! Super Super Super! (Do make sure your oil is hot enough--mine got cool at one point and the rings were greasy and spongey and yuck--as soon as the oil returned to the right temp they were perfect again!)

Great and easy recipe. I made them for the first time tonight and everyone on my floor loved them. Remember to lay finished onions down on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Also, sprinkle each batch with a bit of salt just after removing from oil.

Sorry, but I hated this recipe. I liked the idea of not having to prepare an "old-fashioned" batter because of the ease of mixing the pancake mix, but it turned out to be a mess. The pancake mix creates a "spongey" coating. I would rather have used regular seasoned flour or bread crumbs instead. Like I said... it was a nice idea.

I felt that this recipe required some seasoning so I added my usual garlic and onion powders, a special blend of bread dipping spices, hot sauce and I replaced the liquid with beer. Even though I dressed this up a bit, I'm still giving this recipe five stars because using pancake mix is ingenious. I used Bisquick. I also floured my onions first to help the batter adhere. For those who mentioned that their onions were greasy probably did not have the oil at the right temp. It should be about 350 degrees. A simple candy thermometer will help with that. My family loves onion rings but rarely orders them in a restaurant because they hate how the onion always slides out from the coating. Amazingly, this did not happen (maybe due to the flour coating) and my gang said that these were the best rings they had ever eaten. Can't thank you enough "T"!

My husband is a ring fanatic and he wanted me to make more, i also fried up some zucchani (however you spell it) and it was great also!! will definately be using again and again!! thanks for the great recipe!! (this was also my first attempt at onion rings!!)

Didn't like this one at all! The breading ended up too spongy--soaking up the grease in the process. The taste was strange too--a little too "sweet."
