Fritter Ingredients
- 2 large sweet onions, thinly sliced Vidalia or Walla Walla onions are preferred.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional) For added flavor and color.
- 1 large egg Lightly beaten.
- 3/4 cup milk
Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all ingredients and set up your cooking station.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and optional paprika.
- In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg and stir in the milk until well combined.
- Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Gently fold in the sliced onions to evenly coat them with the batter.
Cooking
- Heat about half an inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, targeting 365°F.
- Using a quarter-cup measure, spoon the batter into the hot oil and flatten each fritter slightly.
- Fry each fritter for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Drain the fritters on paper towels and serve warm.
Notes
For extra crunch, ensure oil is hot enough before frying. Consider adding herbs like parsley or cilantro for a fresh twist, or cayenne pepper for heat.
