Instructions:

1. Prepare the batter:

   • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, pepper, and paprika.

   • Add milk and stir until just combined — the batter should be thick but stirrable.

   • Stir in the sliced onions, making sure they’re well coated in the batter.

3. Fry the fritters:

   • Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat.

   • Once hot (about 350°F / 175°C), drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the oil.

   • Flatten slightly and fry 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

   • Drain on paper towels and keep warm in a low oven if needed.
