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

2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk until well blended.
3
Add Cold Water
Gradually add the cold water to the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

4
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5
Dip and Fry
Working in batches, dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil.
6
Fry Until Golden Brown
Fry the onion rings for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

7
Serve Hot
Serve the onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup or ranch dressing.
