Method
For the Onion Rings
- 1
Prepare the Onions
Peel the onions and slice them into thick rings, about 1/2 inch thick. 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. Mix well. Gradually add the ice-cold water while whisking until the batter is smooth and 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). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if it sizzles and bubbles, the oil is hot enough.
- 4
Batter the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is well coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
- 5
Fry the Onion Rings
Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
