Onion Ring Batter

Onion Preparation

Method

Prepare the Onions

  1. 1

    Slice the Onions

    Peel the large onions and slice them into 0.5-inch thick rings. Carefully separate the rings and set them aside.

  2. 2

    Soak in Ice Water

    Place the onion rings in a bowl of ice water for about 30 minutes. This helps to keep them crisp.

Make the Batter

  1. 3

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until evenly mixed.

  2. 4

    Add Sparkling Water

    Gradually add the cold sparkling water to the dry mixture, whisking until the batter is smooth and has a thick consistency. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes.

Fry the Onion Rings

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can check the temperature using a kitchen thermometer.

  2. 6

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Remove the onion rings from the ice water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off.

  3. 7

    Fry Until Golden

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

  4. 8

    Drain and Cool

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Season with salt to taste.

Serve

  1. 9

    Serve Hot

    Enjoy the onion rings while they are hot and crispy! They can be served with your favorite dipping sauces.
