1
Prepare the Onions
Peel the onions and slice them into 1/4 to 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 paprika. Gradually whisk in the cold water until the batter is smooth and slightly thick.
3
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan 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, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow excess batter to drip off.
5
Fry the Onion Rings
Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
6
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried onion rings with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
