Crispy Amish Onion Fritters Straight from the Oven

Ingredients:

• 2 large onions, thinly sliced
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• Vegetable oil for frying
• Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Directions:

1. Place the thinly sliced onions in a large mixing bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. Pour the milk and lightly beaten egg into the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick batter forms.
4. Add the sliced onions to the batter, tossing until they are evenly coated.
5. In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
6. Drop spoonfuls of the onion batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
7. Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
8. Remove the fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
9. Sprinkle the Amish Onion Fritters with chopped fresh parsley for garnish, if desired.
10. Serve the fritters hot as a delicious appetizer or side dish.
