My family has made these for years! It just occurred to me they were actually vegan.
"Health" food they're not, but a fun and tasty comfort food or great for parties or a housefull of teens, my kids like a LOT more red pepper in the batter - add it to taste...
Sometimes I use beer instead of the club soda for Beer Battered Onion Rings - that's good too!
