Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onion
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the beaten eggs and milk.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Fold in the chopped yellow and green onions. The batter should be thick.
  5. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to 375°F (190°C).
  6. Carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.
  7. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  9. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For a dipping sauce, try a simple ranch dressing or a sweet chili sauce.
  • Leftover fritters can be reheated in a single layer on a baking sheet in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes until crisp.
  • Consider this recipe as a delicious alternative to some meal planning services, offering a homemade comfort food experience.
