Directions:

1. Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. In another bowl, lightly beat the egg and mix it with the milk. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until a soft batter forms.
2. Coat the Onions: Gently fold in the thinly sliced onions into the batter, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
3. Fry the Fritters: Heat about half an inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat to 365°F. Carefully spoon the onion batter into the hot oil, forming small fritters. Fry until each side turns golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
4. Drain: Transfer the fritters onto paper towels to drain excess oil.
5. Serve Warm: Enjoy these golden delights warm, garnished with your favorite herbs or a side of sour cream.

Serving Suggestions:

• Pair these savory fritters with a hearty stew, as an appetizer, alongside a crisp salad, or with baked beans for a complete Midwestern-inspired meal.
• Refresh your palate with iced tea or lemonade for the perfect finishing touch.

Variations & Tips:

• Enhance the batter with fresh herbs like chives or parsley for added flavor.
• For those who enjoy a bit of heat, a pinch of cayenne pepper can elevate the fritters.
• Leftovers? Reheat them in the oven to keep them crispy.
• Practice sustainability by straining and saving the used frying oil for future cooking.
