1
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk together until well combined.
2
Add Water
Gradually add the cold water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until a smooth batter forms. Let the batter rest for about 15 minutes.

3
Slice Onions
Peel the large onions and slice them into 1/4 inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set them aside.

4
Heat Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5
Dip and Fry
Working in batches, dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off. Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil.
6
Fry Until Golden
Fry the onion rings for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
