  • 2 tablespoons cornmeal self-rising or regular
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

Instructions

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.
