2 teaspoons baking powder
2 1/2 cups diced onions
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Oil for frying (approximately 1/3-1/2 cup)
Instructions:
Prepare the Mixture: Combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and black pepper in a spacious bowl.
Integrate the Onions: Ensure the diced onions are evenly integrated into the mixture.
Form the Batter: Add milk, melding until a thick, consistent batter is born.
Heat the Pan: Warm the oil in a skillet over a medium flame.
Shape and Fry: Gently deposit spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, shaping them into slightly flattened patties.
