1
Prepare the Onions
Peel the onions and slice them into 1/4 inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set them aside in a bowl.
2
Make the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well. Gradually add the cold sparkling water to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth and well combined. The batter should be thick enough to coat the onion rings.

3
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
4
Dip and Fry the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.
5
Drain and Serve
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried onion rings from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
