Sweet-and-Hot Onion Rings

Serves: 4 to 6

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon ground red pepper
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups club soda
Vegetable oil for frying
2 large sweet yellow onions, cut into 3/8-inch-thick slices
and separated into rings

In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder,
ground red pepper, and salt. Whisk the club soda into the flour mixture.
In a large saucepan, heat 2 inches of oil over medium heat until hot
but not smoking.
Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing the excess to drip back
into the bowl. Fry a few rings at a time for 5 to 6 minutes, or until
golden. Drain on a paper towel-lined platter and serve.
