1
Slice the Onions
Peel the large onions and slice them into approximately 1/2-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set them aside in a bowl.

2
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk together until well mixed.
3
Add Beer
Gradually pour the beer into the dry mixture while whisking. Continue mixing until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. The batter should be thick enough to coat the onion rings.

4
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can check the temperature with a kitchen thermometer.
5
Coat the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow excess batter to drip off.
6
Fry the Onion Rings
Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
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.
