Amish Onion Patties

-- Onion patties are quick and easy to make and come from the Amish. These patties taste a lot like fried onion rings and are easier to make. They can be reheated and will keep for several days refrigerated.

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons white granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
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

Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, black pepper and cornmeal in a large bowl.
Pour in milk and mix well with spoon.
Mix in chopped onions.
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 patty.
You can add more oil to the skillet if you need to do so while frying.
Makes 10 to 12 onion patties.
