Crispy Amish Onion Fritters
🧅 Ingredients:
-
2 large onions, finely chopped or thinly sliced
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1 tbsp cornmeal (optional, for extra crunch)
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
1 tsp salt
-
½ tsp black pepper
-
½ tsp paprika (optional for flavor)
-
1 egg
-
½ cup milk (adjust for consistency)
-
Vegetable oil (for frying)
🔪 Instructions:
-
Prep the Onions
Peel and finely chop or thinly slice the onions. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. -
Mix the Batter
In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. Add the egg and milk. Mix until you get a thick batter (like pancake batter). Add more milk if it’s too stiff. -
Add the Onions
Stir in the chopped onions until they are fully coated in the batter. -
Heat the Oil
In a skillet, heat ½ inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. -
Fry the Fritters
Drop spoonfuls of the onion mixture into the hot oil, flattening them slightly. Fry 2–3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. -
Drain and Serve
Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve hot with sour cream, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce!
