1
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Whisk together until well combined.
2
Add Water
Gradually add the cold water to the dry mixture while whisking. Continue to whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Set aside.

3
Slice the Onions
Peel the large onions and slice them into 1/4 inch thick rings. Separate the rings from each other and set aside.

4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to check the temperature.
5
Coat the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow excess batter to drip off.
6
Fry the Onion Rings
Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil, a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
7
Drain and Serve
Using a slotted spoon, remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
