1
Prepare the Onions
Peel the onions and slice them into 0.5-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set them aside.
2
Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.
3
Add Water
Slowly add the ice-cold water to the dry ingredients, whisking until you achieve a smooth batter. The batter should be thick but pourable.

4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, 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 and bubbles, it's ready.
5
Coat the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow excess batter to drip off.
6
Fry the Onion Rings
Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil, a few at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
7
Drain and Cool
Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
8
Serve
Serve the onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
