• 0.3 teaspoon double-acting baking powder 
• 3  eggs beaten
• 0.5 cup flour all-purpose ()
• 2 tablespoons parsley fresh chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon thyme sprigs fresh finely chopped
• 4 servings pepper black freshly ground
• 2 ounces milk 
• 1 quart vegetable oil; peanut oil preferred 
• 4 cups onion sweet sliced ( 2 large)

Equipment

• bowl
• baking sheet
• oven
• whisk
• pot
• kitchen thermometer
• aluminum foil
• spatula

Directions

1. Whisk together eggs, milk, Marmite, and thyme until all ingredients are fully incorporated. In a separate bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
2. Whisk dry ingredients into wet ingredients then toss sliced onions into batter using a spatula or your hands to gently crush the onions. Allow to sit for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 300[°] and place a foil lined baking sheet in the oven. In a large pot over medium high heat, heat 3 inches of oil until a piece of onion dropped in the pot sizzles (it should register about 325°F on an instant read or deep frying thermometer). Using a spatula drop approximately 1/4 cup sized fritters into the oil. Cook, turning often until the fritters are golden brown, about 4 minutes.
4. Transfer fritters to a rack set in a rimmed baking sheet and place cooked fritters in the oven to keep warm and repeat until all the batter is used.
5. Serve hot garnished with chopped parsley and a drizzle of Marmite if desired.
