Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1.25 cups cold sparkling water
- 4 cups vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 2
Gradually add the cold sparkling water to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth. The batter should be slightly thick but fluid. Adjust the consistency with a little more sparkling water if necessary.
Step 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature.
Step 4
Slice onions into 1/4-inch thick rings and separate them.
Step 5
Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing any excess batter to drip off.
Step 6
Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil, frying a few at a time to avoid overcrowding the pot.
Step 7
Fry for 2-3 minutes or until the onion rings are golden brown and crisp, turning halfway as needed.
Step 8
Use a slotted spoon to remove the onion rings from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
