1
Slice Onions
Peel the large onions and slice them into 1/4 inch thick rings. Carefully separate the rings and set them aside.

2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir until well blended.
3
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.

4
Heat Oil
In a large deep frying pan or pot, pour in vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping in a small amount of batter; if it sizzles, the oil is ready.
5
Dip and Fry
Take a few onion rings at a time, dip them in the batter, ensuring they are fully coated. Carefully drop them into the hot oil. Fry in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
6
Cook Until Golden
Fry the onion rings for about 2-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

7
Serve Hot
Serve the onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or ketchup.
