Method
Preparation
- 1
Slice the Onions
Peel the large onions and slice them into 1/2 inch thick rings. Carefully separate the rings from each other and set them aside.

Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the dry ingredients are evenly combined.

Add Cold Water
Slowly pour in the cold water while whisking the dry ingredients until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the onion rings.

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). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready.
