Ingredients

Vegetable or canola oil, for frying

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 1/4 cups milk

2/3 cup chopped onions

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a deep fryer or skillet to 375 degrees F.
  2. Mix together the sugar, baking powder, salt, garlic salt and pepper. Mix together the milk, onions and egg in a blender until they are a milkshake consistency
