1 C (240ml/2.4dl) Cornmeal
1 C (240ml/2.4dl) Flour
1 medium onion, minced
2 tsp (10ml) Baking powder
1 tsp (5ml) Salt
1/2 tsp (2.5ml) Black Pepper
1 egg beaten
3/4 C (1.8dl) Buttermilk
3 C (7.2dl) vegetable oil
Mix dry ingredients and onion together. Mix in the egg and buttermilk. This will be a thick mixture. Let sit for 1/2 hour.
Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep skillet/wok to 375 degrees F (190c). Drop by teaspoons into the pan. Fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels, serve immediately with ketsup, butter, malt vinegar or honey
I also do variations using minced vegetables such as red peppers (pictured here), jalepenos, and others into the batter.
