Amish Onion Fritters
Introduction:
Amish Onion Fritters are a delightful and comforting dish that brings together the simplicity of Amish cooking with the savory flavor of onions. These crispy fritters are made with a batter of flour, eggs, milk, and seasonings, mixed with thinly sliced onions and fried until golden brown. They are perfect as a side dish, appetizer, or even a snack, offering a satisfying crunch and a burst of onion flavor in every bite.
Ingredients:
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup milk
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the Onions:
- Peel the onions and thinly slice them into rings. Separate the rings and set aside.
- Make the Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the milk.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
- Combine with Onions:
- Add the thinly sliced onions to the batter, tossing to coat them evenly.
- Fry the Fritters:
- In a large skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
- Drop spoonfuls of the onion batter into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Flatten the fritters slightly with the back of the spoon to ensure even cooking.
- Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Repeat the frying process with the remaining batter and onions.
- Serve:
- Serve the Amish Onion Fritters hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
- Enjoy them as a side dish, appetizer, or snack.
Tips:
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the fritters to ensure a crispy exterior.
- You can customize the seasoning of the batter by adding herbs or spices such as garlic powder, paprika, or cayenne pepper.
- Serve the fritters with dipping sauces such as ketchup, ranch dressing, or a spicy aioli for extra flavor.
