- Fold in the finely chopped onions, ensuring they are evenly coated with the batter.
Frying
- In a large skillet, pour in about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat.
- Drop a spoonful of batter into the pan to test; if it sizzles, the oil is ready.
- Carefully scoop small amounts of batter into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with a spoon.
- Fry for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Serving
- Once golden and crispy, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm with dips like sour cream, apple sauce, or your favorite sauce.
Notes
Don't overmix the batter to avoid tough fritters. Control oil temperature for even cooking. Keep finished fritters warm in a low oven if making in batches.
