Cut one onion in half, then in quarters, and thinly slice to measure about 2 cups.

Add 1/2 cup of plain cornmeal to the bowl with the onions.

Add 1 cup of King Arthur gluten-free flour to the bowl.

Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt to the mixture.

Add 2 teaspoons of baking powder to the mixture.

Add 1 tablespoon of monk fruit to the mixture (optional).

Add 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder to the mixture.

Mix the dry ingredients with the onions using hands to separate the onion slices.

Add 1 cup of buttermilk to the mixture, adjusting as needed for consistency.

Add 1 duck egg to the mixture and stir well.

Adjust the mixture with more buttermilk or water to achieve a drop batter consistency.

Heat oil in a frying pan until hot.

Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

Fry the fritters until golden brown, flipping them to brown on both sides.

Continue cooking until all the batter is used up.
