Method

Onion Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Onions

    Peel the onions and cut them into 1/2 inch thick slices. Separate the slices into rings and set aside.

Batter Preparation

  1. 2

    Mix the Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper until well combined.

  2. 3

    Add Sparkling Water

    Gradually add the cold sparkling water to the dry ingredients, mixing until you achieve a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the onion rings.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep fryer or a large pot, heat the 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, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.

  3. 6

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 7

    Drain and Cool

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve Hot

    Serve the onion rings hot with ketchup and ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
