1
Prepare the Onions
Peel the large onions and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set them aside.
2
Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk until well combined. Gradually add the cold sparkling water to the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the onions.

3
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or a large pot, pour in the vegetable oil and heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
4
Coat the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the prepared batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
5
Fry the Onion Rings
Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil in batches, being cautious not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-4 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.
6
Drain and Serve
Once golden brown, use a slotted spoon to remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
