Ingredients
2 cups finely chopped onions (about 2 medium onions), really thin and shredded looking
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2/3 cup milk - use the amount that produces a nice batter consistency
1 egg, beaten
Oil for deep frying; use your favorite
Directions
Peel and finely chop the onions, almost shredded. 
You want them small so they blend well into the batter and cook evenly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
Stir in the milk and beaten egg until the batter is smooth and thick.
If the batter feels too thick, add a bit more milk.
Mix in the onions, but don't over-mix it.
Stir until they are fully coated.
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
Use a thermometer to keep the temperature steady.
Fry the fritters. DON'T put too many in at once or the oil will cool down too quickly.
Use a 1/4 cup (or bigger) measuring cup to drop the onion batter carefully into the hot oil. Or a big spoon.
Fry in batches until they are golden brown and crispy. Roll them around if you need to to get them evenly browned.
Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack over paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
NEVER! NEVER! NEVER drain fried foods directly on a paper towel!
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or just as they are—crispy, savory perfection!
