Peel the onions and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set them aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Gradually add the ice-cold water, stirring until the batter is smooth and slightly thick.

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