1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 large egg
3/4 cup milk
2 cups thinly sliced sweet onions
1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as chives or parsley)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Vegetable oil, for frying
Directions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and paprika.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix it with the milk.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients to form a soft batter.
Gently fold in the sliced onions, chopped herbs, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat to about 365°F.
Spoon the batter into the hot oil, forming small pancakes.
Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Variations & Tips
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the batter. You can also experiment with different cheeses, such as pepper jack or gouda, for a unique flavor profile. If you’re a fan of garlic, consider adding a clove of minced garlic to the batter for an extra layer of taste. For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
