🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Make the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except the oil: flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, milk, chopped onions, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the batter is smooth and evenly combined.
Step 2: Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet, heat ½ to 1 inch of oil over medium-high heat. Aim for the oil to reach 350°F (175°C) for ideal frying.
Step 3: Fry the Fritters
Using a tablespoon, scoop and gently drop batter into the hot oil, flattening each spoonful slightly as it cooks. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Step 4: Flip & Drain
Fry each fritter for 2–3 minutes per side, or until both sides are golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined rack to drain excess oil.
Step 5: Serve Warm
Enjoy the fritters fresh and hot. Serve on their own or with sour cream, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce.
