How to make onion rings

Points to remember

• Use a fork to steady your onion and slice the onion into rings about 1cm wide. Remove the skin and separate the rings.
• Heat the oil to 180C in a heavy-based pan – it should be no more than 1/3 full.
• Meanwhile mix the batter ingredients - here we use flour, seasoning and sparkling water. Whisk together to form a thick batter.
• Coat a small batch of onion rings and carefully lower them, one at a time into the hot oil.
• Deep-fry until crisp and golden, about 2 - 3 minutes. Drain on kitchen paper. Repeat until you have cooked all the onion rings.
