1
Prepare the Onions
Slice the large onions into 1/4 inch thick rings and separate the rings from each other. Set aside.

2
Mix the Batter
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well. Gradually pour in the cold water and whisk until the batter is smooth and has no lumps.

3
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
4
Coat the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Let excess batter drip off before frying.
5
Fry the Onion Rings
Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil, a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
6
Drain and Serve
Once fried, remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve immediately while hot.
