Delicious Vidalia Onion Rings

2 medium Vidalia onions, cut into rings
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk
couple dashes hot sauce
1 c. self rising flour
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
pinch of Kosher salt
1 tsp. Cajun seasoning

Soak the rings in the buttermilk for several hours (the longer, the better). 
Preheat deep fryer to 355 degrees. 
Take the onions out of the buttermilk when ready to cook and add the egg to the buttermilk. 
Place onion back in buttermilk/egg mixture and dredge in flour mixture (all other ingredients).
Add carefully to the fryer and deep fry, in batches, for about 2-3 minutes or until light golden brown.
If you like yours extra crispy, then dip the rings twice in both mixtures before frying.
Drain on paper towel.
Serve hot.
THESE WILL MELT IN YOUR MOUTH!

Red Velvet Cookies w/ Cream Cheese Frosting

Cookies

1 (18 ounce) box red velvet cake mix (any brand will do)
2 eggs
1/3 cup oil

Cream Cheese Frosting

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (softened)
1/4 cup stick butter (softened)
2 teaspoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups powdered sugar

 

Directions:
*Mix all the cookie ingredients together. This will make a cookie dough.
*Roll into balls and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Flatten down slightly (depending on the    thickness you desire). 

* Bake at 375° until the tops crackle (about 8-10 minutes) or until desired doneness.

* Cool and then frost (they're also good without the frosting).

*For the frosting, beat cream cheese, butter, milk and vanilla in medium bowl with electric mixer on low speed until smooth.

*Gradually beat in powdered sugar on low speed, 1 cup at a time, until smooth and spreadable. 

 

(You can half the frosting recipe and have plenty for these cookies--the full recipe will ice an entire cake.)
