by

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter
    • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, polenta, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
    • Stir in the soy milk until a thick batter forms.
    • Mix in chopped onions and green onions until evenly distributed.
  2. Heat the Oil
    • Pour oil into a frying pan and heat to medium.
    • Test readiness by dipping the end of a wooden spoon into the oil—if bubbles form around it, the oil is ready.
  3. Fry the Fritters
    • Drop spoonfuls of batter into the oil, gently flattening each fritter with the back of a spoon for even cooking.
    • Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
    • Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  4. Serve Warm
    • Enjoy immediately with sweet chili sauce or your favorite dip.

Tips for Success

✔ Choose the right onions – Yellow onions offer the best mix of sweetness and flavor. ✔ Slice evenly – Thin slices ensure even cooking and great texture. ✔ Maintain oil temperature – Too hot burns them, too cool makes them greasy. ✔ Chill the batter before frying—it helps them hold together better.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve with a creamy yogurt dip or garlic aioli.
  • Enjoy with a fresh salad for contrast.
  • Pair with grilled meats or vegetables for a complete meal.

These fritters are crispy, full of flavor, and easy to make. Whether as a snack or part of a bigger meal, they’ll definitely be a hit! Enjoy!
