Onions

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Onions

    Peel the large onions and slice them into 1/4 inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set them aside.

Batter Preparation

  1. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  2. 3

    Add Sparkling Water

    Gradually add the cold sparkling water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the onion rings.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, 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, the oil is ready.

  2. 5

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess batter drip off.

  3. 6

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil, a few at a time, to avoid overcrowding. Fry them for about 2-4 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally for even cooking.

  4. 7

    Drain Excess Oil

    Once cooked, remove the onion rings from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve Hot

    Serve the onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup, ranch, or spicy mayo.
