Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large yellow onions
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup cold sparkling water
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Peel the onions and cut them into 1/4-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set them aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Whisk to mix evenly.
Gradually add the cold sparkling water to the dry ingredients and whisk until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the panko breadcrumbs into a shallow dish or plate.
In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
Dip an onion ring into the batter, letting the excess drip off, and then coat it in the panko breadcrumbs. Press gently to ensure an even coating.
Carefully place the coated onion ring into the hot oil. Repeat with additional onion rings, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
Fry the onion rings for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy!
