Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

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

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the cold water to the dry ingredients while stirring until the batter is smooth. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Dip and Fry

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off. Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the 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.
