My Amish friend brought these guys to a recent potluck and everyone drooled over them!

Toss together the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and paprika in a large basin.

Lightly whisk the egg in a separate dish before combining it with the milk.

Mix the wet ingredients with the egg mixture until a batter is formed.

Toss in the thinly sliced onions and stir to coat them evenly.

An inch or so of oil heated to 365 degrees Fahrenheit in a pan.

Pour the batter into the hot oil in your favorite shape and cook for two to three minutes on each side, or until it becomes golden brown.

Set the fritters on paper towels to drain.

Warm it up and bask in the compliments.

Changes and Hints:

For more flavor, sprinkle in some fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives.

Add some heat with a pinch of cayenne pepper.

Crispiness may be preserved by reheating leftovers in the oven.

Instead of throwing away the spent oil, filter it and use it to enhance the taste of other meals.

More than just a dish, Amish Onion Fritters are an ode to tradition, nostalgia, and the pleasure of sharing good, home-cooked meals with loved ones. Enjoy a taste of Midwestern cuisine by giving them a try
