Instructions
Onion Preparation:
Peel the onions and slice them into thin strands, similar to onion rings.
Batter Preparation:
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the milk, stirring continuously until a smooth batter forms.
For additional flavor, incorporate optional herbs or spices of your choice.
Mixing Onions and Batter:
Gently fold the thinly sliced onions into the batter, ensuring each strand is well-coated.
Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Frying Process:
In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches approximately 375°F (190°C).
Carefully spoon dollops of the onion and batter mixture into the hot oil.
Fry 4-5 fritters at a time, ensuring the pan isn’t crowded.
Cook each side for 2-3 minutes, or until they attain a golden-brown hue.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels, letting excess oil drain.
Serving:
Serve the fritters hot. They pair well with a variety of dipping sauces, from tangy to creamy, depending on personal preference.
Notes
Always be cautious when working with hot oil to prevent accidents.
Adjust frying time and temperature based on the equipment and desired crispiness.
With every batch, refine your technique for perfect fritters.
