Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Onions
Peel the large onions and slice them into 1/2 inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set them aside.

Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk until evenly mixed.

Add Sparkling Water
Gradually pour the cold sparkling water into the dry mixture, stirring gently until a smooth batter forms. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes.

Heat the Oil
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or a deep fryer, 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, ensuring it is well coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
- 6
Fry the Onion Rings
Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

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 excess oil. Serve hot.
