For the Onion Rings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

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

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

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

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off before carefully placing it into the hot oil.

  5. 5

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Fry the onion rings in batches, cooking for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the crispy onion rings hot with your favorite zesty dipping sauce.
