Amish Onion Patties

The next time you’re making hamburgers, blt’s or other Summertime sandwich, give French Fries the night off and try these Onion Patties instead!

Amish Onion Patties

3/4 cup flour
1 tsp. salt
dash of pepper
2 tsp. baking powder
1 Tbs. cornmeal
1 Tbs. white sugar
2/3 cup whole milk
2-1/3 cups chopped onions

Mix the ingredients together well and form patties. Fry in a few inches of oil.

After they’re golden brown, pat off the extra oil and serve warm. It doesn’t get much easier than that, does it?!

These Amish Onion Patties are the perfect companions for hamburgers, hot dogs, corn dogs, sloppy Joe’s, etc. They also make ideal appetizers. When you’re familiar with the recipe, of course, you could always experiment with various additions: garlic powder, pepper flakes, more onions, etc.

I think you’ll love these.
