1
Prepare the Onions
Peel the onions and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rings. Separate the rings from each other 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 paprika. Whisk the dry ingredients together until evenly mixed. Gradually add in the cold water, stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

3
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). You can test the temperature by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
4
Fry the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally for even cooking.
5
Drain and Serve
Using a slotted spoon, remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat the frying process with the remaining onion rings. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
