Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Peel the onions and slice them into rings about 1/2 inch thick. Separate the rings and set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Whisk to combine.
Gradually pour in the cold sparkling water while whisking until a smooth, thick batter forms. It should coat the back of a spoon.
Place the panko breadcrumbs into a separate shallow bowl for coating.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off, then coat it in the panko breadcrumbs.
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.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the onion rings and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat the process with the remaining onion rings.
Serve the onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch, ketchup, or aioli.
