For the Onion Rings

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Peel the onions and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until the batter is smooth and has a light consistency.

  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

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Once golden brown, remove the onion rings with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
