1
Slice the Onions
Peel the onions and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set them aside.
2
Make the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk together until well blended.
3
Add Cold Water
Gradually add the cold water to the dry ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and has a consistency similar to pancake batter.

4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the heat by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the top.
5
Coat the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off before carefully placing it into the hot oil.
6
Fry Until Golden Brown
Fry the onion rings in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
7
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, 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.
