Soak the onion rings in ice water for at least 1/2 hour. Pat the onion
rings dry with paper towels. Sift together the baking powder, flour and
salt. Combine the egg, water, and lemon juice and beat until frothy. Stir
this into the dry ingredients just until blended. Add butter. Dip onion
rings into batter, a few at a time. Drop into 375 deg. F. oil. Fry 2
minutes on each side, turning once. Drain on absorbent paper. Keep hot in
slow oven (325 deg. F.) until all are cooked. Don't crowd them in the
fryer.
