1
Prepare the Onions
Peel the large onions and slice them into thin rings, about 1/4 inch thick. Separate the rings and set them aside.
2
Make the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until combined.
3
Add the Sparkling Water
Gradually add the cold sparkling water to the dry ingredients while whisking until you achieve a smooth, thick batter. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.
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 check the temperature using a thermometer or by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
5
Coat the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off, and carefully place them into the hot oil.
6
Fry the Onion Rings
Fry the onion rings in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
7
Drain and Serve
Once crispy, remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
