- 2 large sweet onions, finely chopped
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 3/4 cup milk
- Oil for frying
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
Stir in the chopped onions and milk, mixing gently until a thick, chunky batter forms.
Heat 2 inches of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat to 375°F (190°C).
Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, ensuring they don't overcrowd.
Fry for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
Transfer fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve warm, optionally with a dipping sauce of your choice.
For extra crispiness, add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the batter. Crispy Amish Onion Fritters can be made spicier by adding cayenne pepper or chili flakes.
