Ingredients
  

  • 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

Instructions
 

  • 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.

Notes

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.
