For the Onion Rings

Method

Preparation of the Onion Rings

  1. 1

    Slice the Onions

    Peel the large onions and slice them into 1/4 inch thick rings. Separate the rings and place them in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well mixed.

  3. 3

    Add Sparkling Water

    Gradually add the cold sparkling water to the dry ingredients while whisking until you achieve a smooth batter. It should be thick enough to coat the onion rings.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Let the excess batter drip off.

  6. 6

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-4 minutes on each side.

  7. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Once fried, remove the onion rings with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve immediately.
