Ingredients for Large Onion Rings

Method

Directions for Making Large Onion Rings

1

Prepare the Onions

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

2

Make the Batter

In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until the batter is smooth and well combined.

3

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).

4

Coat the Onion Rings

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

5

Fry the Onion Rings

Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

6

Drain and Serve

Remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
