To Make the Onion Rings
- 1
Prepare the Onions
Peel the onions and slice them into 1/4 inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.

Make the Batter
In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until the batter is smooth and thick.

Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Coat the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing excess to drip off.

Fry the Rings
Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
