Onion Rings

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Peel the onions and slice them into approximately 1/4 inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until you achieve a smooth batter.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pan or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

  5. 5

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the onion rings from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
