Step 1
Cut onions into 0.5-inch thick rings and separate them from the core.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, pepper, and paprika.
Step 3
Pour ice water into the dry mixture and stir until a smooth, thick batter forms. Do not overmix.
Step 4
Heat oil to 350°F in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, using a thermometer to monitor temperature.
Step 5
Working in batches, dip onion rings into batter, coating completely, and carefully place into hot oil.
Step 6
Fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy, stirring gently to prevent sticking.
