Ingredients
- 2 pieces Large onions
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 cup Cold sparkling water
- 1.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel the onions and slice them into rings about 1/2 inch thick. Separate the rings and set them aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Whisk to combine.
Step 3
Gradually pour in the cold sparkling water while whisking until a smooth, thick batter forms. It should coat the back of a spoon.
Step 4
Place the panko breadcrumbs into a separate shallow bowl for coating.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
Step 6
Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off, then coat it in the panko breadcrumbs.
Step 7
Carefully place a few onion rings at a time into the hot oil, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Use a slotted spoon to remove the onion rings and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Repeat the process with the remaining onion rings.
Step 10
Serve the onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch, ketchup, or aioli.
