I was reading about Amish Onion Patties and found out that they are a scrumptious fried food that I have never had. I heard that they taste like onion rings. I figured out a baked version of and seasoned them a bit more. GOSH they are a BIG HIT because they are forking tasty and not so heavy. They have a crisp exterior and are light almost like an fluffy onion pancake inside. They are tasty the way they are but also would be great with any dip, dressing, or ketchup that you can think of….I think that they would be great as mini sandwiches too. This recipe makes around 16 patties. You need to eat at least two so that might be 8 small portions. I am certain that some will eat more than two patties so serving size is difficult to judge. I’ll guesstimate 6 servings.

Ingredients for around 6 portions

2 1/2 cups onions – sliced thin on mandolin and chopped (I used 1+ almost1/2 large onions)

1/3 cup scallions – sliced thin

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 Tablespoon corn meal

3/4 cup flour

2 teaspoons sea salt

1 Tablespoon sugar

1 Tablespoon granulated onion

1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper

2 eggs – beaten

1/4 cup water

canola non stick spray

Directions

Set oven to 400 degrees F and spray two sheet trays with non stick spray.

In a large bowl add the onions, scallions, baking powder, cornmeal, flour, salt, sugar, granulated onion, pepper, Mix well.

In a small bowl mix together the eggs and water. Now add that to the big bowl and mix well.

I used a teaspoon and heaped it up with batter and placed them on the baking sheets like this.

My oven was preheated to 400 degrees F. One sheet pan went on the middle rack and the other sheet pan on the lower rack. In my oven I thought that the onions patties looked perfect to me at 30 minutes. Ovens can differ some so you might need slightly more or slightly less time.

My dogs thought that the Baked Onion Patties smelled good. They don’t know that onions are toxic to dogs. I’ll have to give them something else.

Enjoy!!!
