In a bowl mix cornstarch, salt, pepper & cayenne pepper. Mix well. Set aside. In another bowl mix eggs & milk together. Set aside. In a separate bowl add coconut flakes. Set a cooling rack over a cookie sheet and set aside. Take onion rings and dip into cornstarch mixture then into egg and set on drying rack. Do this to all onion rings {you may need to work in batches}. Take dipped onion ring and dip again in the cornstarch mixture and again in the egg. Set again on the drying rack. Do 3 or 4 more and then take the first one and dip into coconut. Coat as well as you can. Set onto a plate. Repeat to all onion rings. Oil should be hot at this point. If it is above 300*F remove from heat and allow it to cool down. If oil is too hot it will burn your coconut before your onion cooks.
