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

2
Mix the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk until well combined.
3
Add Water
Gradually add the cold water to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and has a thick consistency.

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).
5
Coat the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, and allow excess batter to drip off.
6
Fry the Onion Rings
Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
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 drain excess oil. Serve hot.
