Stove-Top Green Onion Fritters

Ingredients

- 1 bunch green onions, finely chopped
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

1. Prepare the Green Onions:
Trim the ends of the green onions. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat dry with a paper towel. Chop finely, both the green and white parts.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir to incorporate the dry ingredients evenly.

3. Create the Batter:
In a larger bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup water and 1 large egg until well combined. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring consistently to create a smooth batter. If using, fold in the 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese for an extra flavor dimension.

4. Add Green Onions:
Gently fold the finely chopped green onions into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

5. Heat the Oil:
In a large, non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Allow the oil to reach a shimmering state, indicating it is ready for frying.

6. Cook the Fritters:
Carefully spoon about 2 tablespoons of the batter per fritter into the skillet. Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure even cooking. Cook each fritter for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust heat as necessary to prevent burning.

7. Drain and Serve:
Once done, remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot, perhaps with a side of sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce.
