Crispy Amish Onion Fritters

It appears there is a mix-up between the image and the text you provided:

  • The Image: Shows Gooey Caramel Pecan Turtle Bars (the chocolate/caramel dessert).

  • The Text: Is a description for Amish Onion Fritters (a savory side dish).

Since you asked for “FULL RECIPES” and pasted the text for the fritters, I have organized the text into a proper recipe card below. Note: The text you pasted listed ingredients but missed the measurements, so I have added the standard measurements used in traditional Amish recipes for this dish so you can actually cook them!

Crispy Amish Onion Fritters

 

Prep time: 10 mins | Cook time: 10 mins | Yields: 10-12 fritters

These fritters are rustic, crispy, and savory with a hint of sweetness. They are perfect as a side dish or an appetizer dipping in sour cream.

Ingredients

 

(Standard measurements added based on the classic Amish recipe)

  • ¾ cup All-purpose Flour

  • 1 tbsp Granulated Sugar

  • 1 tbsp Cornmeal (gives that specific crunch)

  • 2 tsp Baking Powder

  • ½ to ¾ cup Whole Milk (start with ½ cup, add more if batter is too thick)

  • 1 cup White Onions, finely chopped (about 1 medium onion)

  • ½ tsp Kosher Salt (plus more for sprinkling)

  • ¼ tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper

  • Oil for frying (vegetable, canola, or peanut oil)

Instructions

 

1. Make the Batter In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, cornmeal, and baking powder.

  • Pour in the milk.

  • Add the chopped onions, salt, and pepper.

  • Stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be thick enough to hold its shape on a spoon but not like dough.

2. Heat the Oil Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a cast-iron skillet or heavy frying pan over medium-high heat.

  • Test: The oil is ready when a drop of batter sizzles immediately and floats to the top.

3. Fry the Fritters Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Gently spread each portion with the back of the spoon to flatten it slightly (this helps them cook evenly).

  • Fry for 2–3 minutes per side until they are deep golden brown and crispy.

4. Drain & Serve Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

  • Serve immediately while hot!

Storage & Reheating

 

  • Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

  • Freezer: Freeze on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer to a bag for up to 2 months.

  • Reheat: For the best crunch, reheat in an air fryer or oven at 375°F for 5-7 minutes. Do not microwave, or they will get soggy.

Variations

 

  • Cheese: Add ¼ cup shredded cheddar or Parmesan to the batter.

  • Spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne or smoked paprika.

  • Gluten-Free: Swap the flour for a 1:1 Gluten-Free baking blend.

  • Extra Airy: Swap the milk for club soda/sparkling water.
