Batter Preparation

Add Water
Gradually add the cold water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick but pourable.
Frying

Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can check the temperature by dropping a small amount of batter in the oil; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready.

Coat the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
