These crispy Amish onion fritters are the perfect savory snack or side dish, made with thinly sliced onions coated in a light batter and fried to golden perfection. Enjoy them warm with your favorite dipping sauce like sour cream, ranch, or marinara.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup milk
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  • Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
  • Add the Wet Ingredients: Stir in the milk to create a smooth batter.
  • Incorporate the Onions: Gently fold in the thinly sliced onions, ensuring they are evenly coated with the batter.
  • Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat.
  • Fry the Fritters: Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the fritters are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Drain the Fritters: Remove the fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  • Serve: Serve the fritters warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sour cream, ranch, or marinara.

Notes

  • Adjusting the Batter: If the batter seems too thick, add a little more milk to reach the desired consistency.
  • Frying Tips: Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the batter, or the fritters may become greasy. You can test the oil by dropping in a small amount of batter—if it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready.
  • Serving Suggestions: These fritters are delicious on their own or as a side dish to meats or salads.
