I made the best onion rings tonight!! 
Here is the recipe as I found it, I will add my 2 cents worth as I go:
1/2 C flour (plus more for dredging)
1/2 t cayenne
1 C club soda (I used ginger ale)
1/4 C corn starch (I used corn meal, not sure if they are the same thing or not)
2 T instant mashed potato flakes
1/2 t dried thyme (I omitted this completely)
2-3 C Japanese bread crumbs (I used italian bread crumbs)
2-3 medium onion cut 1/4 inch thick and seperated into rings
canola oil
In a shallow bowl, wisk together flour, cornstarch, instant potatoes, cayenne and dried thyme.
Stir in club soda. Alow mixture to sit while cutting onion. Mixture will thicken.
Pour breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Pour dredging flour into another shallow dish. (Imiss-read the instructions and put them both in the same dish and it was fine, but a little clumpy towards the end). Fill heavy bottomed pot with 2" canola or vegetable oil and heat to 365-370.
Dip onion ring into flour, then in batter, then in bread crumbs. Drop onion rings immediately into oil and brown both sides, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with salt as soon as you remove them from oil.
