\ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83c\udf73 Instructions<\/h2>\n

1. Prepare the Batter<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cornmeal<\/strong>, and baking powder<\/strong>. Slowly pour in the milk<\/strong>, stirring until a thick, smooth batter<\/strong> forms.<\/p>\n

2. Add the Onions<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Fold in the chopped onions<\/strong>, mixing until they\u2019re evenly coated. The batter should be thick enough to hold its shape when scooped.<\/p>\n

3. Heat the Oil<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Pour about \u00bd inch of oil<\/strong> into a heavy skillet or frying pan. Heat over medium-high<\/strong> until shimmering. Test with a small drop of batter \u2014 if it sizzles immediately, it\u2019s ready.<\/p>\n

4. Fry the Fritters<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Drop spoonfuls of the onion batter into the hot oil, flattening slightly with the back of a spoon. Fry 2\u20133 minutes per side<\/strong>until golden brown and crispy.<\/p>\n

5. Drain and Serve<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate<\/strong> to drain excess oil. Serve warm<\/strong>, and watch them disappear!<\/p>\n
