Description
Crispy, flavorful Amish Onion Fritters are a comforting and delicious appetizer or side dish that are quick and easy to prepare. Made with sweet onions, a simple batter, and fried to golden-brown perfection, these fritters are a family-pleasing favorite.
Ingredients
– 2 large sweet onions, thinly sliced
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 2 large eggs
– 1/2 cup milk
– Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
1. – In a large bowl, combine the sliced onions, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the onions evenly.
2. – In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
3. – Pour the egg mixture into the onion mixture and stir until just combined (do not overmix).
4. – In a large skillet, heat 1/2 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
5. – Working in batches, drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the onion batter into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
6. – Transfer the fried fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
7. – Serve the Amish Onion Fritters warm, either as an appetizer or a delicious side dish.
Notes
– For a crispier texture, let the fried fritters sit for a few minutes on the paper towels before serving.
– Try serving the fritters with a cool, creamy dipping sauce like ranch or sour cream.
– Adjust the seasoning to your taste, adding more salt, pepper, or even a dash of cayenne for a little heat.
