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

2
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
3
Mix in Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add cold water. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until the batter is smooth and well combined.

4
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).
5
Coat the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off before carefully placing them in the hot oil.
6
Fry the Onion Rings
Fry the onion rings in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Ensure not to overcrowd the pan.
7
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
