Method

Onion Rings

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

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

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

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

  3. 3

    Add the Sparkling Water

    Gradually pour in the cold sparkling water while whisking until the batter is smooth and slightly thick. If too thick, add a bit more sparkling water.

  4. 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).

  5. 5

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil.

  6. 6

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Fry the onion rings in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place on paper towels to drain.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the onion rings hot with the dipping sauce on the side.

Dipping Sauce

  1. 8

    Mix the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, hot sauce, and garlic powder. Stir until well mixed.

  2. 9

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the dipping sauce and adjust the seasoning with more hot sauce if desired. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
