  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix the thinly sliced onions with a pinch of salt and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture. Drain any excess liquid.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
  3. In another small bowl, combine the buttermilk and egg until thoroughly mixed.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined—do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold the drained onions into the batter until evenly coated.
  6. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of onion batter into the hot oil without overcrowding the pan.
  8. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown; adjust heat as needed.
  9. Remove fritters using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels before serving hot.
