Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

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

Batter

  1. 2

    Mix the Batter

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

  2. 3

    Add Sparkling Water

    Slowly add the cold sparkling water to the dry ingredients, whisking until you have a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the onion rings.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, 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 coated onion rings into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 7

    Drain and Serve

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