Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the onions

    Peel the onions and slice them into 1/4 inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Gradually whisk in the cold water until you achieve a smooth batter.

  3. 3

    Heat the oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Coat the onion rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off.

  5. 5

    Fry the onion rings

    Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil. Fry in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Drain and serve

    Remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
