1
Slice the Onions
Peel the onions and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and place them in a bowl.
2
Prepare the Batter
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well. Gradually add water while whisking until the batter is smooth and thick.

3
Heat the Oil
In a large deep pot or skillet, 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. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
5
Fry the Rings
Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil, a few at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
6
Drain and Serve
Using a slotted spoon, remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
