Method
Batter Preparation

Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Whisk together until well mixed.

Add Water
Gradually add cold water to the dry ingredients, whisking until you have a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Rest the Batter
Let the batter rest for about 15-20 minutes. This helps to create a lighter texture.

Prepare the Onion

Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C). You can test it by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.

Coat the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the prepared batter, ensuring it is completely coated. Allow excess batter to drip off.
