1
Slice the Onions
Peel the sweet onions and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.
2
Prepare the Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the cold sparkling water while stirring until a smooth batter forms.
3
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
4
Coat the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off.
5
Fry the Onion Rings
Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
6
Drain and Serve
Remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
