Onion Rings Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Onions

   Peel the onions and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.

2. 2

   Make the Batter

   In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk together until well combined.

3. 3

   Add Sparkling Water

   Gradually add cold sparkling water to the dry ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and has no lumps. It should be thick enough to coat the onion rings.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a deep skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Coat and Fry the Onion Rings

   Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

6. 6

   Cooking Time

   Fry the onion rings for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
