1
Prepare the Onions
Peel the onions and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rings. Carefully separate the rings and set them aside.
2
Make the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk together until well mixed. Gradually add the cold water while whisking until the batter is smooth and thick.

3
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if it bubbles and rises, the oil is ready.
4
Coat the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess batter.
5
Fry the Onion Rings
Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil, a few at a time, to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
6
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. Continue frying until all onion rings are cooked. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
