Kittencal's Onion Patties/latkes

Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 3
• 2 1/2 cups onions, finely diced (i just chop about 3 medium onions for this)
• 1 green onion, finely chopped (optional)
• 3/4 cup flour
• 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoning salt (can use regular salt)
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, or use 2-3 teaspoons fresh garlic)
• black pepper (optional)
• 3/4 cup milk
• oil (for frying, i recommend to use vegetable oil olive oil will interact with the flavor)

Recipe

• 1 chop the onions finely (i chop them about 1/4-inch) then place into a bowl.
• 2 in another large bowl mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, seasoning salt, cayenne, garlic powder (if using) and a small amount of black pepper; mix to combine well.
• 3 add in the milk and whisk until thoroughly combined (the batter will be thick!).
• 4 add in the chopped onions and green onions and mix with a wooden spoon until combined.
• 5 in a large non-stick frypan, heat a small amount of oil to medium-hot, adding in more oil as needed as the patties will absorb too much oil if you add in a large amount of oil at one time.
• 6 drop the batter from a tablespoon (no more than about a tablespoon!) into about 1/2-inch of hot oil (i slide the batter off using off another spoon).
• 7 flatten slightly with the spoon or spatula.
• 8 sprinkle with a little salt.
• 9 fry until crispy and brown on both sides.
• 10 **note** these tend to hold a bit of oil so drain well on paper towels.
