Ingredients
- 2 medium onions, sliced thin
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, and sugar until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick, pourable batter forms.
- Fold in the thinly sliced onions, coating them well in the batter.
- Heat 2–3 inches of oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C).
- Drop small spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, frying in batches for even cooking.
- Fry for 2–3 minutes per side, or until fritters are golden and crispy.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil and serve hot.
Notes
- Slice onions thinly to ensure they cook quickly and blend well into the batter.
- Do not overcrowd the pan to maintain oil temperature and ensure crispness.
- Serve immediately for the best texture.
- Reheat in an oven or air fryer to restore crispiness—avoid microwaving.
- Add-ins like jalapeños, cheese, or cornmeal can enhance flavor and texture.
