Onions

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Onions

    Peel the large onions and slice them into 1/2 inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.

Batter Preparation

  1. 2

    Mix the Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.

  2. 3

    Add Sparkling Water

    Gradually add the cold sparkling water to the dry mixture, whisking until you achieve a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the onion rings.

Frying

  1. 4

    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).

  2. 5

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

  3. 6

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 7

    Drain Excess Oil

    Remove the fried onion rings using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve Hot

    Serve the onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
