Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
  • Oil for deep-frying as needed

Method
 

  1. Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).

  3. Stir in buttermilk, beaten egg, and diced onion until just combined.
  4. Drop heaping tablespoons of batter into hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.

  6. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  7. Serve hot with your favorite remoulade or tangy dipping sauce.
