1
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
2
Add Water
Gradually add the cold water to the dry ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Set aside.

3
Slice Onions
Peel the large onions and slice them into 1/4 inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set 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
Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off. Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding.
6
Cook Until Golden
Fry the onion rings for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the rings from the oil.
7
Drain and Cool
Place the fried onion rings on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Repeat until all onion rings are fried.
