In the meantime, prepare the haystack onions. Combine milk and egg in a bowl. Slice onions thinly and put into egg wash to coat. Place onions in a colander to drain. Mix flour and seasonings in a flat pan. A 9x13 cake pan works well. Drop onions into flour and coat well. Slowly add onions to hot cooking oil. Cook in small batches, so they do not get oily. Remove from oil when golden brown and place on paper towels to drain.
