Thickly slice two big delicious onions.
One cup of all-purpose batter
1/8 teaspoon of baking soda
1/4 teaspoon of salt
Black pepper, half a teaspoon
optional 1/4 teaspoon paprika (to add a smokiness to the taste)
a single big egg
Three quarters of a cup of milk
Fry food in vegetable oil
Follow these steps:
In a big basin, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, pepper, and paprika.
Whisk the milk into the egg mixture after gently beating the egg in a separate basin.
Mix the wet ingredients with the egg mixture until a batter is formed.
After coating the onions evenly, fold in the thinly sliced onions.
Get a pan of oil to 365°F, which is around half an inch deep.
Shape the batter to your liking before spooning it into the oil; cook for two to three minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Pour the fritters onto paper towels to drain.
Enjoy the warm serving and the accolades that is rightfully yours!
Changes and Hints:
To enhance the taste, sprinkle in some fresh herbs such as parsley or chives.
To taste, you may adjust the heat with a pinch of cayenne.
To keep the crunchiness of leftovers, reheat them in the oven.
You may filter the wasted oil and utilize it to enhance the taste of future recipes instead of throwing it away.
