Prepare the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk until well combined. Gradually add cold water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until you achieve a smooth, thick batter.
Cooking

Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can check this by using a kitchen thermometer or by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and float to the surface.

Batter the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off before placing the ring in the hot oil.
