This is an authentic and popular Amish recipe for onion patties. Tasting a bit like onion rings, these treats are easy and quick to cook up. Perfect for parties and serving to company when you are not preparing a full meal. Dip them in ranch dressing or catsup for a delicious snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons white granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cornmeal self-rising or regular
- 2 1/2 cups chopped onions
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup cooking oil I used Canola
Instructions
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and cornmeal in a large bowl. Mix in chopped onions. Pour in milk and mix well with a spoon.
- Heat oil in a skillet on top of the stove. Drop by spoonfuls into the hot oil. Cook on one side until brown and flip to cook on the other side. I use a 1/4 cup measuring cup full of batter for each pattie. You can add more oil to the skillet if you need to do so while frying. Makes 10 to 12 onion patties.
