🧾 Ingredients:
-
2 medium onions, thinly sliced or chopped

👨🍳 Instructions:
🔹 1. Prepare the Batter

Drop batter by spoonfuls (about 2–3 tbsp each) into the pan and gently flatten.

Fry 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
🔹 3. Drain and Serve

Place cooked fritters on paper towels to drain.

Serve warm, optionally with:

Sour cream

Chopped herbs
-
🧠 Tips:
-
For extra crunch, you can add crushed pork rinds or coconut flour (1 tbsp).
-
Make mini versions for keto appetizers.
-
Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in the oven or air fryer to crisp up.
