Description

These Crispy Amish Onion Fritters are a delightful appetizer or snack that features a crunchy exterior and a tender, flavorful interior. Perfect for gatherings or as a tasty treat for yourself.


Ingredients

2 cups finely chopped onions (about 2 medium)

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornmeal
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • vegetable oil for frying


Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. Add chopped onions and coat well.
  2. Prepare batter: In a small bowl, whisk egg and milk together. Pour into the onion mixture and stir until a thick batter forms.
  3. Fry fritters: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet. Drop spoonfuls of batter, flatten slightly, and fry for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve warm.

Notes

  • Enhance flavor with garlic powder or chives.
  • Pair with ranch dressing or a tangy dipping sauce.
  • To maintain crispness, keep fritters warm in a 200°F oven.
