Onion Patties

 

3/4 C. flour

1 T. sugar

1 T. cornmeal

2 tsp. baking powder

2 tsp. salt

3/4 C. milk

2 1/2 C. chopped onions (about 2 small onions)

shortening or oil for frying

 

In a large bowl, mix all dry ingredients, then add milk and stir. This will give you a thick batter. Add onions and mix until well blended. Heat 1/2 inch oil in skillet over medium high heat. Drop batter by T. into the hot oil. Flatten with the back of a spatula, then brown on both sides until crispy, golden brown. Drain on paper towel, sprinkle salt to taste.  Pro Tip: You can make these even more craveworthy by adding 1/4 C. crumbled, cooked bacon to the batter before cooking. Other tasty add ins include: 1/4 C. green pepper, 1/4 C. cooked mushroom, or sprinkle cheddar on top after you’ve finished cooking.
