Method
Preparation

Batter Preparation
- 2
Mix the Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, ground black pepper, and cayenne pepper until well combined.
- 3
Add Water
Slowly add the cold water to the flour mixture, whisking until the batter is smooth and has a thick consistency. Let it rest for about 10 minutes.
Frying
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, 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 Onions
Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
- 6
Fry the Onion Rings
Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil, a few at a time, to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- 7
Drain and Serve
Remove the onion rings from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Season with additional salt if desired and serve hot.
