Method

Onion Rings Directions

  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 large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Gradually add the cold sparkling water and whisk until the batter is smooth and slightly thick.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off.

  5. 5

    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 2-3 minutes per side.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
