Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Peel the onions and slice them into 1/4 inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well. Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, whisking until you achieve a smooth batter.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep fryer or a large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 365°F (185°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the temperature is accurate.

  2. 4

    Dredge the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow excess batter to drip off.

  3. 5

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil, a few at a time. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pot.

  4. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
