Crispy Amish Onion Fritters: Simply Irresistible & Easy to Make!
Did you know that Amish onion fritters have been a cherished comfort food for generations? These crispy Amish onion fritters perfectly blend simplicity and satisfaction.
Ingredients
- 2-3 large onions
- 1 cup flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ cup milk
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- for frying oil vegetable or canola
- optional sugar
- optional paprika
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the onions. Finely chop or slice 2-3 large onions, allowing their natural sweetness to shine through.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper.
- In a separate bowl, crack open the eggs and give them a good beating. Then, pour in the milk and mix well.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring gently until all the ingredients come together.
- Now, fold in the chopped onions carefully, ensuring they are evenly coated in the batter.
- Heat about ½ inch of vegetable or canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, aiming for around 350°F.
- Once the oil is hot, scoop spoonfuls of the onion batter into the skillet, flattening them slightly. Fry each fritter for about 3-4 minutes on each side.
- As your crispy Amish onion fritters finish frying, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Notes
- Keep the oil at around 350°F to avoid greasy or burnt fritters.
- Let chopped onions sit for a few minutes to drain excess moisture.
- Fry fritters in small batches to prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Look for a golden brown color to indicate doneness.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
