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

2
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk together until well mixed.
3
Add Water
Gradually add cold water to the dry ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and has no lumps. The batter should be thick enough to coat the onion rings.

4
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet or fryer, 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, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
6
Fry the Onion Rings
Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil, a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
7
Drain and Serve
Once fried, remove the onion rings from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
