Method
Preparing the Onion Rings
- 1
Peel the onions and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set them aside.
- 2
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to ensure ingredients are evenly distributed.
- 3
Gradually pour in the cold sparkling water into the dry mixture, stirring until the batter is smooth. The batter should be thick enough to coat the onion rings.
Frying the Onion Rings
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). You can check the temperature using a kitchen thermometer or by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle.

Coat the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
