Ingredients

• 2 pieces large onions
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1.5 cups cold water
• 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
• 2 cups breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon paprika

Directions

Step 1

Peel the onions and slice them into thick rings, about 1/4-inch wide. Separate the rings carefully and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 3

Gradually add the cold water to the dry mixture, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and lump-free.

Step 4

Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish for coating.

Step 5

In a deep skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). Ensure the oil is deep enough to submerge the onion rings completely.

Step 6

Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off, then coat thoroughly in the breadcrumbs.

Step 7

Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil in small batches. Do not overcrowd the skillet or fryer.

Step 8

Fry each batch for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the onion rings are crispy and golden brown.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve immediately while hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
