Add Sparkling Water
Gradually pour in the cold sparkling water while whisking until the batter is smooth and slightly thick. Adjust the consistency with more water if necessary.
Frying
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, 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, it's ready.
- 5
Coat the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
- 6
Fry the Onion Rings
Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 2-4 minutes per side.
