Onion Rings
Method
Preparation
- 1
Slice the Onions
Peel the onions and slice them into 1/4 inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set them aside.
- 2
Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk until well combined.
- 3
Add Sparkling Water
Gradually add the cold sparkling water to the dry ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. The batter should be thick enough to coat the onion rings.
Frying the Onion Rings
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature.
- 5
Coat the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Make sure each ring is evenly coated.
- 6
Fry the Onion Rings
Carefully place a few battered onion rings in the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.
- 7
Drain and Serve
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried onion rings and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot, ideally with your favorite dipping sauce.
