Salty Bolinho De Chuva (Savory Brazilian Doughnuts) are a unique twist on the traditional Bolinho De Chuva, a sweet Brazilian doughnut typically flavored with cinnamon and sugar and served as a dessert or snack. The salty version replaces the cinnamon and sugar with green onions and salt, resulting in a savory, flavorful doughnut that is perfect for snacking or serving as an appetizer. These doughnuts are popular in Brazil and are often sold at street food vendors and in markets.

Instructions

1.	In a bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, and baking powder.
2.	In a separate bowl, mix the milk, eggs, salt, and chopped green onions.
3.	Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
4.	Heat oil in a deep pan to 375°F (190°C).
5.	Using a small ice cream scoop or spoon, drop balls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
6.	Fry the doughnuts until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
7.	Remove the doughnuts from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
8.	Serve hot or warm, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
