Description
Delicious homemade onion fritters that bring warmth and joy, perfect as appetizers, side dishes, or snacks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large Onions (yellow or sweet)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1 cup Milk (or buttermilk for richness)
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1/2 tsp Garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
- Finely chop the onions and let them sit for a moment to enhance their flavor.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and seasonings. Create a well in the center and crack the egg into it. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth.
- Fold in the chopped onions gently, ensuring they’re coated with the batter.
- In a large skillet, heat a few tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat.
- Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the skillet and let drain on paper towels, sprinkling with salt while warm.
- Serve warm, preferably with a dipping sauce like ranch or garlic aioli.
Notes
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking and a proper golden color. Patience is key for achieving the best texture.
