Method
Preparing the Onion Rings
Slice the Onions
Peel the onions and slice them into 1/4 inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set them aside.
Make the Batter
In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until you achieve a smooth batter.
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Coat and Fry the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off. Carefully place the coated rings into the hot oil and fry in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Serve
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
