1
Slice the Onions
Peel the large onions and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rings. Carefully separate the rings and set them aside in a bowl.
2
Prepare the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well. Gradually add the cold water while whisking until the batter is smooth and has no lumps.

3
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C). You can test if the oil is hot enough by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
4
Coat the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, making sure it is fully coated, and carefully place it in the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary.
5
Fry the Onion Rings
Fry the onion rings for about 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

6
Serve Hot
Serve the onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup, ranch dressing, or spicy mayo.
