How to Make Amish Onion Patties
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
- Gradually add 1 cup of milk, whisking until a thick batter forms. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
- Finely chop 2 large sweet onions (about 2 cups). Add the chopped onions to the batter and gently mix until combined.
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot (a drop of batter should sizzle immediately), drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, leaving space between each patty.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. As the patties are cooking, gently flatten them with a spatula to create even patties.
- Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a wire rack or plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm as a delicious side dish alongside your favorite meals.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
