Ingredients
- 2 medium onions thinly sliced
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup milk
- 1 egg
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Onions
- Thinly slice the onions and separate them into rings. Set aside.
- Mix the Batter
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper.
- In a separate bowl, combine the milk and egg. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.
- Combine Onions with Batter
- Add the sliced onions to the batter, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Fry the Fritters
- Heat ½ inch of vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Drop spoonfuls of the battered onions into the hot oil, flattening slightly with the back of a spoon.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain and Serve
- Transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy as-is.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives to the batter.
- Substitute almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
- These fritters are best served fresh but can be reheated in an air fryer to retain crispiness.
