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.
