1. Make the Chive Dip:
In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped chives, and lemon juice. Stir until well combined.
Season the dip with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
2. Prepare the Fritter Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.
Gradually pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
Add the thinly sliced onions to the batter, stirring until they are evenly coated.
3. Fry the Fritters:
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
Drop spoonfuls of the onion batter into the hot oil, using a spoon or scoop to shape them into fritters. Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet.
Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
