These Crispy Onion Fritters are certain to become a regular addition to your meal plans. They are made from simple store cupboard ingredients which you may already have on hand. For fritters that are crisp and full of caramelised onion flavour, just add finely chopped onions to a simple pancake batter and shallow fry. It doesn’t get much easier than that! These Onion Fritters also happen to be both vegan and gluten-free.

INGREDIENTS IN THIS RECIPE:
Gluten-free all-purpose/plain flour – I have used a commercial gluten-free flour which is made from a blend of naturally occurring gluten-free flours. Our gluten-free flour blends contain either xanthan or guar gum to stabilise and provide structure to our recipes. You can use regular flour if you prefer and do not require the recipe to be gluten-free.
Sugar – a small amount of sugar helps the onions to caramelise and the fritters to develop crispy edges.
Polenta/cornmeal – this is a great gluten-free grain that adds a gentle crunch and texture to the Onion Fritters.
Baking powder – a raising agent which helps keep the fritters light. If you require, check that it is gluten-free.
Cooking salt – a great flavour booster. We use coarse kitchen salt not fine table salt.
Freshly ground black pepper – has better flavour than pre-ground black pepper which tends to taste dull and flat.
Soy milk – you can use the milk of your choice. If you prefer, you can use dairy milk if you do not require the recipe to be vegan.
Brown/yellow onions – this is the most frequently used onion. You can also use white onions.
Spring onions/scallions – also known as green onions, we use the white part and some of the green to add colour and flavour. Their flavour is sweeter and milder than regular onions.
Olive oil – I use olive oil for frying, but you could also use a neutral oil such as grapeseed oil. Read More…
