AMISH ONION FRITTERS

Ingredients:

Instructions:

Let’s get started with preparing the Amish Onion Fritters:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until well combined.
3. Gradually pour the milk and egg mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until you achieve a smooth batter.

1. Add the diced onions to the batter, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Frying the Fritters

Now, let’s move on to frying the Amish Onion Fritters:

1. In a deep pot or skillet, heat vegetable oil to a temperature of approximately 350°F (175°C). Make sure you have enough oil to fully submerge the fritters.
2. Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the onion batter into the hot oil. Be cautious to avoid overcrowding the pot, as this can affect the fritters’ crispiness.
3. Fry the fritters for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown.
4. Once cooked, use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the fritters from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels. This will help absorb any excess oil.

Serving and Enjoying

Your freshly fried Amish Onion Fritters are now ready to be served and enjoyed:

1. Serve the fritters hot and crispy as an appetizer or snack.
2. These fritters are delicious on their own, but you can also pair them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or spicy ketchup.
3. Garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, for an added touch of freshness
