Ingredients

• 2 medium (approx. 2 cups finely chopped) onion
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.25 cup (plus extra for frying) vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely chop the onions into small, uniform pieces. You should have approximately 2 cups once chopped.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

Add the chopped onions to the dry ingredients and toss to coat them evenly with the flour mixture. This ensures the onions are well dispersed throughout the batter.

Step 4

Pour in the milk and vegetable oil, then stir until the mixture comes together into a thick batter. It should hold its shape but still be slightly sticky.

Step 5

Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop a small amount of batter into the pan. If it sizzles immediately, the oil is hot enough.

Step 6

Using a large spoon or your hands, scoop a small portion of the batter (about 2 tablespoons) and gently flatten it into a patty shape.

Step 7

Carefully place the patties into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them in batches if needed.

Step 8

Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spatula to flip the patties halfway through cooking.

Step 9

Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Serve warm as a snack or side dish, optionally accompanied by dipping sauces or sour cream.
