Ingredients

6 servings

1 cup yellow cornmeal
Lamb's Stone Ground Yellow Corn Meal Organic Yellow Cornmeal, 22 oz McEwen & Sons Stone Ground Yellow Cornmeal 2 lbs
See all
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same amount and stir until it dissolves. Honey tastes a touch sweeter, so you can also use slightly less.
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
½ cup yellow onion, finely diced
1 large egg
¾ cup buttermilk
4 cups vegetable oil, for frying
Chef's tip
Avocado oil is neutral and handles high heat, making it a good all-purpose swap.

For serving

hot sauce, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Pour the vegetable oil into a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to a depth of about 3 inches. Heat over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 365°F (185°C) on a deep-fry thermometer.
2
While the oil heats, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, and cayenne in a large bowl until evenly combined.
