Method

Preparation of Onions

  1. 1

    Slice the Onions

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

Making the Batter

  1. 2

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well mixed.

  2. 3

    Add Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the cold water. Mix well. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth.

Frying the Onion Rings

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large saucepan or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 5

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off.

  3. 6

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve hot.
