Onion Rings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Onions

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Batter

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

  3. 3

    Add Sparkling Water

    Gradually pour in the cold sparkling water while whisking the dry ingredients. Mix 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 frying pan or a heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test this by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil. If it sizzles, it’s ready.

  2. 5

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Take each onion ring and dip it into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess batter drip off.

  3. 6

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil, a few at a time, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning them occasionally.

  4. 7

    Drain and Serve

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