Method

Onion Rings Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Onions

    Peel the large onions and slice them into 1/2 inch thick rings. Carefully separate the rings and set them aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until you achieve a smooth batter.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

  4. 4

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off before placing the rings into the hot oil.

  5. 5

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Fry the coated onion rings in batches, cooking them for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Piston Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Tower

    Once the onion rings have cooled slightly, take a skewer and carefully thread the onion rings onto it, stacking them to create a tall tower. Repeat with additional skewers until all onion rings are stacked.

Dipping Sauce Preparation

  1. 7

    Mix the Dipping Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, hot sauce, garlic powder, and lemon juice. Mix well until smooth.
