Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Onions

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. If desired, add paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper for extra flavor. Whisk together until well combined.

  3. 3

    Add Sparkling Water

    Gradually pour in the cold sparkling water while whisking until the batter is smooth and has a thick consistency. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes.

Frying

  1. 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). You can test the oil readiness by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.

  2. 5

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off. Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil, a few at a time, without overcrowding the pan.

  3. 6

    Fry Until Golden Brown

    Fry the onion rings for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Serve the fresh-cut onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
