Amish Onion Fritters

Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Prepare Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the 2/3 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon cornmeal, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 2/3 cup whole milk until a smooth batter forms.
2. Add Onions & Season: Add the 2 cups chopped white onions to the batter. Season generously with Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir everything well to combine, ensuring the onions are evenly coated.
3. Heat Oil: Meanwhile, heat about 1/2-inch of oil for frying in a large skillet (or a Dutch oven) over medium-high heat. Use a kitchen thermometer to ensure the oil reaches 375°F (190°C).
4. Fry Fritters: Once the oil reaches the correct temperature, carefully drop the batter by the tablespoon into the hot oil. Use the back of the spoon to spread the fritter out slightly if needed to form a more even patty.
5. Cook Until Golden: Fry the fritters in batches (do not overcrowd the skillet) until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides, flipping once.
6. Drain & Serve: Remove the fried fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve hot and enjoy!

These Amish Onion Fritters are delicious on their own or with a side of sour cream or a dipping sauce.
