1
Prepare the Onions
Peel the onions and slice them into 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.
2
Make the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well.
3
Add Sparkling Water
Gradually add the cold sparkling water to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and thick enough to coat the onion rings.
4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5
Coat the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off before carefully placing them into the hot oil.
6
Fry the Onion Rings
Fry the onion rings in batches, without overcrowding, for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
7
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
