I have been making these for over 20 years, I usually get about 15 patties but it depends on the size of the batter that you drop in the pan, these are better if fried to very brown and crispy, you can make a double recipe, fry them then freeze them on a tray then pop them into freezer bags, then just warm them in the oven to crisp up, they are very addicting and I can tell you I eat half before they even get to the table lol! If you plan on doubling the recipe then make two separate recipes in two bowls, I have doubled the recipe into one bowl and for some reason they just are not as good --- if desired you could add in a slightly beaten large egg and reduce the milk by 1/4 cup --- you will love these! also see my Kittencal's Crispy Potato and Green Onion Pancakes (Latkes) and Kittencal's Italian Zucchini-Mozzarella Patties
SERVES 3 -4
Ingredients
- 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, do not use olive oil)
Directions
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.

Great recipe; I tried popping these in the oven as another reviewer had suggested (15 minutes on one side, then 10 minutes on the other). To my dismay, the batter felt thin when I spooned them onto the cool, oiled baking sheet. Upon turning them, I found that the oil hadn't been absorbed and rather clung onto the patties, which felt more like crepes with their thin edges. Once the patties were done cooking, I popped them onto a hot skillet; that helped a bit with the texture. As I would like to limit the calorie intake in my household, I think I'll try the baked version again but up the flour content and shorten the baking time and finish cooking on a skillet next time. Also, I found the patties a tad sweet for my taste (I did not use sweet onions - not easy to find in my new home above the Arctic Circle) so I might lower the sugar by 1/2 a tablespoon next time.

As usual another fabulous recipe. I made some for my daughter and her husband. When I asked how they liked them she told me she loved them but didn't know if he did. Then she confessed, she had eaten them all so he didn't get a taste. lol. I'm doubling the recipe today.

UNREAL. Ok, I love onions, but I never would have thought they could be THIS good. This is the kind of recipe that could make me a vegetarian. A vegetarian who only eats onions. Who only eats THESE onions. Slight alterations based on the commandments of my tongue and what I had on hand: I used one large yellow onion and three scallions, just a pinch of cayenne and both the optional ingredients - garlic powder and pepper. I fried them at about 275-300 degrees for roughly 6 minutes on each side until dark brown (the way God intended!), flattening them a bit before flipping. This goes right into my "Encore" cookbook with much appreciation to you, KITTENCAL!

Two complaints: Not enough of them; no one to clean my pan. These are delicious. I've been making another recipe, but this is a keeper. I'll double or triple the recipe next time, and have tons to freeze. I've eaten half the recipe today, and I'm busting, but can't stop they are so good.
