ONION PATTIES – AMISH RECIPE

Onion patties are quick and easy to make and come from the Amish.  They make great appetizers and snacks.  Serve onion patties with ketchup, salsa, ranch dressing or any other kind of dip you and your family like.  These patties taste a lot like fried onion rings.  You could double or triple the recipe if serving a large crowd.  They can be reheated and will keep for several days refrigerated.  I fry these onion patties just like I would my fried cornbread. 

Amish patties recipe is one of our most popular recipes.

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons white granulated sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons cornmeal (self-rising or regular)

2 1/2 cups chopped onions (I used 1 1/2 large white onions, chopped)

1 cup milk

1/2 cup cooking oil (I used Canola)

Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, black pepper and cornmeal in a large bowl.  Mix in chopped onions.  Pour in milk and mix well with spoon.  Heat oil in skillet on top of the stove.  Drop by spoonfuls into hot oil.  Cook on one side until brown and flip to cook on other side.   I use a 1/4 cup measuring cup full of batter for each pattie. You can add more oil to the skillet if you need to do so while frying.  Makes 10 to 12 onion patties. Enjoy!

Note:  You could add some garlic powder or hot sauce or any other seasonings you like to the batter before cooking if you like hot and spicy.
