Method
Prepare the Onion Rings
- 1
Slice the Onions
Peel the onions and slice them into 1/4 inch thick rings. Carefully separate the rings and set them aside.
- 2
Make the Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Gradually add the cold sparkling water, whisking until the batter is smooth and has a consistency similar to pancake batter.
Fry the Onion Rings
- 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 oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; it should sizzle and float to the surface.

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

Prepare the Dipping Sauce (optional)
