For the Crispy Battered Cod:
1 lb cod fillets, cut into portions
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup cold sparkling water or club soda

1/4 cup cornstarch

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
1 cup cold sparkling water or club soda

Instructions:
For the Cod:
Prepare the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Gradually add cold sparkling water, stirring until smooth. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Heat the Oil: Heat oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 350°F (175°C).
Batter and Fry the Cod: Dip each cod fillet into the batter, letting excess drip off. Carefully place the cod into the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with a little extra salt.
For the Onion Rings:
Prepare the Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, cayenne pepper (optional), and salt. Add cold sparkling water and whisk until smooth.
Batter and Fry the Onion Rings: Dip the onion rings into the batter, shaking off excess, and fry in the hot oil until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt while hot.
Serve:
Plate the Platter: Serve the crispy battered cod and onion rings on a platter with lemon wedges on the side. You can also add tartar sauce or your favorite dipping sauce for extra flavor.
