Onion Rings
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Onions
Peel the large onions and slice them into 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.

Make the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
- 3
Add Water
Gradually add the cold water to the dry ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and has a consistency similar to pancake batter. Adjust the thickness with more water or flour if necessary.

Heat the Oil
In a large, deep saucepan or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if it sizzles, it's ready.

Coat the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off.

Drain and Serve
