Buy Now- Prepare the Batter:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. In another bowl, beat the egg and mix in the milk. Slowly combine the wet and dry ingredients to form a thick batter. - Coat the Onions:
Add the thinly sliced onions to the batter, ensuring they are fully coated. - Heat the Oil:
In a skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil to 365°F. Test by dropping a small bit of batter into the oil; if it sizzles, it’s ready. - Fry the Fritters:
Spoon the onion batter into the skillet, shaping each fritter as you go. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. - Serve Hot:
Enjoy these fritters fresh and hot! They pair wonderfully with sour cream, fresh herbs, or even a spicy dipping sauce.
