1
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
2
Add Water
Gradually add cold water to the dry ingredients while whisking continuously until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the onion rings.

3
Slice the Onions
Peel the onions and slice them into 1/4 inch thick rings. Carefully separate the rings and set them aside in a bowl.

4
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 temperature by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
5
Coat the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, making sure it is fully coated. Allow excess batter to drip off before placing it in the hot oil.
6
Fry the Onion Rings
Carefully place the coated onion rings in the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
7
Drain and Serve
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
