Method
Preparation
Slice the Onions
Peel the onions and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set them aside.
Batter Preparation
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk until well mixed.
Add Cold Water
Gradually add the cold water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. The batter should be thick enough to coat the onion rings.
Frying
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 365°F (185°C). You can check the temperature with a thermometer.
Coat the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
Fry the Onion Rings
Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
