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

2
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well combined.
3
Add Water
Gradually add the cold water to the dry mixture, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.

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). You can use a kitchen thermometer to check the temperature.
5
Dip and Fry the Onion Rings
Take each onion ring, dip it into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, and gently place it in the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary.
6
Cook Until Golden
Fry the onion rings for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

7
Serve Hot
Serve the onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup or ranch dressing.
