1
Slice the Onions
Peel the onions and slice them into 0.5-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.

2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
3
Add Water
Gradually add the water to the dry ingredients while whisking until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the onion rings.

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 test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, it’s ready.
5
Coat the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, making sure it's fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
6
Fry the Rings
Carefully add the battered onion rings to the hot oil in small batches. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan.
7
Drain the Rings
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

8
Serve Hot
Serve the onion rings immediately while they are hot and crispy. Enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauce!
