1
Slice the Onions
Peel the onions and slice them into thin rings, about 1/4 inch thick. Separate the rings and place them in a bowl.

2
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well mixed.
3
Add Water
Gradually add the cold water to the dry ingredients while whisking continuously until you achieve a smooth batter. Set aside.

4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5
Coat the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring they are completely coated, then allow excess batter to drip off.
6
Fry the Onion Straws
Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
7
Remove and Drain
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried onion straws from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

8
Serve Warm
Transfer the fried onion straws to a serving platter. Optionally, melt the margarine and drizzle it over the onion straws before serving. Enjoy as a snack or side dish!
