Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| All-purpose flour | 2/3 cup |
| Granulated sugar | 1 tablespoon |
| Cornmeal | 1 tablespoon |
| Baking powder | 2 teaspoons |
| Whole milk | 2/3 cup |
| White onions | 2 cups, chopped (about 1 medium) |
| Kosher salt | To taste |
| Freshly ground black pepper | To taste |
| Oil for frying | As needed |
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cornmeal, baking powder, and whole milk until a smooth batter forms.
- Add the chopped white onions to the batter. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking. Stir to ensure the onions are evenly coated in the batter.
- Meanwhile, pour about 1/2 inch of oil into a skillet and heat it over medium-high heat.
- Use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature. Once the oil reaches 375°F (190°C), carefully drop spoonfuls of the onion batter into the hot oil, about 1 tablespoon per fritter. Gently spread the batter out slightly with the back of the spoon to create thinner fritters.
- Fry the onion fritters on both sides until they are golden brown and crispy, which should take a few minutes per side.
- Once cooked, remove the fritters from the skillet using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the Amish Onion Fritters hot and enjoy immediately!
