1
Prepare the Onions
Peel the large onions and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set them aside.
2
Make the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir well to combine. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until the batter is smooth and has a consistency similar to pancake batter.

3
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet or a frying pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, it's ready.
4
Coat the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
5
Fry the Onion Rings
Carefully place the battered onion rings in the hot oil, a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, turning them occasionally for even cooking.
6
Drain and Serve
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried onion rings from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately while hot.
