📋 Ingredients:
- 2 cups onions, finely chopped 🧅
- 1 cup all-purpose flour 🌾
- 1 tablespoon sugar 🍬
- 2 teaspoons baking powder 🌿
- 1 teaspoon salt 🧂
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 🌶️
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 🌰
- 3/4 cup milk 🥛
- Vegetable oil for frying 🛢️
📝 Instructions:
1. Prepare the Onion Batter:
- Mix dry ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Add the onions and milk:
- Stir the chopped onions into the dry mixture, ensuring they’re well-coated. Gradually add the milk, stirring until everything is combined and you have a thick batter.
2. Heat the Oil:
- Heat the oil:
- In a large skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking—around 350°F (175°C).
3. Fry the Fritters:
- Scoop the batter:
- Using a spoon, drop small spoonfuls of the onion batter into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon.
- Fry until golden:
- Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Fry in batches if necessary, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
- Drain the fritters:
- Remove the fritters from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
4. Serve:
- Serve hot:
- Serve the fritters warm, either as a snack or a side dish. They pair wonderfully with sour cream, ranch dressing, or your favorite dipping sauce.
