Onion Rings Ingredients

Method

Onion Rings Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

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

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

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

  3. 3

    Add Sparkling Water

    Gradually add the cold sparkling water to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. The batter should be thick but pourable.

  4. 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). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if it bubbles and rises, it's ready.

  5. 5

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off before frying.

  6. 6

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

  7. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Once fried, 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.
