INGREDIENTS:
2 large sweet onions, thinly sliced
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional, for a smoky flavor)
1 large egg
3/4 cup milk
Vegetable oil for frying
Directions:
1 Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. In another bowl, lightly beat the egg and mix it with the milk. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until a soft batter forms.
2 Coat the Onions: Gently fold in the thinly sliced onions into the batter, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
3 Fry the Fritters: Heat about half an inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat to 365°F. Carefully spoon the onion batter into the hot oil, forming small fritters. Fry until each side turns golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
4 Drain: Transfer the fritters onto paper towels to drain excess oil.
5 Serve Warm: Enjoy these golden delights warm, garnished with your favorite herbs or a side of sour cream.
