Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

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

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Gradually add the cold sparkling water, mixing until the batter is smooth and has no lumps.

  3. 3

    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).

  4. 4

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing any excess batter to drip off.

  5. 5

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until they are golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
