Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Onions

    Peel the onions and slice them into 1/2 inch thick rings. Carefully separate the rings and set aside.

Batter Preparation

  1. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, ground black pepper, and paprika.

  2. 3

    Add Water

    Gradually add the cold water to the dry ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and has a thick consistency.

Coating

  1. 4

    Prepare the Breadcrumbs

    In a separate bowl, place the breadcrumbs. This will be used for coating the onion rings.

Frying

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 6

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Then, roll it in the breadcrumbs to cover completely.

  3. 7

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Carefully place the coated onion rings in the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

  4. 8

    Drain and Serve

    Once fried, remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
