Batter

Onion Rings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

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

Batter

  1. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk until well combined.

  2. 3

    Add Soda Water

    Gradually add cold soda water to the dry ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. The batter should have a thick but pourable consistency.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 5

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, letting any excess drip off. Make sure each ring is well coated.

  3. 6

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding, cooking for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried onion rings with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
