How to Make Amish Onion Patties
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and cornmeal.
Stir in the diced onions until evenly distributed.
Add milk to the dry mixture and mix until a thick batter forms.
In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat.
Drop spoonfuls of the onion batter into the hot oil, flattening them slightly to form patties.
Fry the patties until golden brown on both sides.
Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the Amish onion patties warm and enjoy!
Notes
For a healthier version, consider air frying the patties instead of pan-frying them in oil. Add crispy bacon bits or shredded cheese for a twist on the classic recipe.
