Prepare the onions: Thinly slice the onions and separate them into rings. Set aside.

Mix the batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Gradually add the milk and water, stirring until the batter is smooth and well combined.

Coat the onions: Add the sliced onions to the batter, ensuring they are well coated.

Heat the oil: In a frying pan or skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).

Fry the fritters: Drop spoonfuls of the onion mixture into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon. Fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Drain and serve: Remove the fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon or tongs and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve warm.
