1
Slice the Onions
Peel the onions and slice them into 1/4 inch thick rings. Carefully separate the rings from each other.

2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well combined.
3
Add Water
Gradually add the cold water to the dry mixture, whisking until you achieve a smooth batter. The consistency should be thick enough to coat the onion rings.

4
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or a fryer, 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, allowing the excess to drip off.
6
Fry the Onion Rings
Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil. Fry them in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, for about 2-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
7
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried onion rings and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
