Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt to combine dry ingredients.
Gradually pour in the milk while stirring to form a smooth batter.
Fold in the chopped onions into the batter, ensuring they are well-coated.
Heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, flattening them slightly to create even fritters.
Fry fritters for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden-brown.
Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels before serving.
