Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

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

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until the batter is smooth and slightly thick.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).

  4. 4

    Coat and Fry

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
