Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Onions

    Peel the onions and slice them into 1/4 inch thick rings. Carefully separate the rings and set aside in a bowl.

Batter Preparation

  1. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk together until well blended.

  2. 3

    Add Water

    Gradually add cold water to the dry ingredients, mixing until the batter is smooth and has a consistency similar to pancake batter.

Coating the Onion Rings

  1. 4

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat them in breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to ensure the breadcrumbs stick.

Frying

  1. 5

    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).

  2. 6

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Carefully add the coated onion rings to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally.

  3. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried onion rings with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
