How to Make Crispy Onion Patties

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt until well blended.
Gradually pour in the milk while stirring continuously until a thick, cohesive batter forms.
Gently fold in the chopped onions, ensuring even distribution.
In a skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat to approximately 350°F (175°C).
Drop tablespoons of batter into the hot oil and gently flatten them. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Once fried, place the patties on paper towels to drain excess oil and sprinkle with salt.
