Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet onions, sliced into 1/4-inch rings
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup cold sparkling water
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Pour vegetable oil into a deep pan or fryer and heat to 350°F. Set a wire rack over a baking sheet for draining.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
- In another bowl, beat the egg and whisk in the sparkling water until smooth.
- Combine wet and dry mixtures, stirring until just combined to form a batter.
- Dip onion rings in flour, then into the batter, letting excess drip off.
- Fry in batches until golden brown and crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and place on the wire rack. Sprinkle with salt while hot.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Use sweet onions like Vidalia for the best flavor.
- Keep the batter cold for maximum crispiness.
- Soak onion rings in cold water before battering to reduce sharpness and help coating stick.
- Drain on a wire rack instead of paper towels to keep them crisp.
