Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Peel the onions and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set them aside.

Batter Preparation

  1. 2

    Mix the Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until evenly mixed.

  2. 3

    Add Water

    Gradually add the cold water to the dry mixture, whisking until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the onion rings.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

  2. 5

    Coat Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

  3. 6

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 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. Season with additional salt if desired, and serve hot.
