1
Slice the Onions
Peel the onions and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.
2
Prepare the Batter
In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in cold water until the batter is smooth and thick.
3
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or pot, 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, allowing excess batter to drip off.
5
Fry the Onion Rings
Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
6
Drain and Serve
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.
