Ingredients for House Made Onion Rings

Method

Directions for Preparing House Made Onion Rings

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

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

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

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

  3. 3

    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 temperature by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and float to the surface.

  4. 4

    Coat and Fry the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered rings into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the onion rings using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
