Method
Preparation of Onions
- 1
Slice the Onions
Peel the large onions and cut them into 1/2-inch thick slices. Separate the slices into rings.
Batter Preparation
- 2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk until evenly mixed.
- 3
Add Sparkling Water
Gradually add the cold sparkling water to the dry ingredients, whisking gently until the batter is smooth. Avoid over-mixing; a few lumps are fine.
Frying the Onion Rings
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Coat Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off.
- 6
Fry the Rings
Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- 7
Drain and Serve
Once golden, use a slotted spoon to remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
