Instructions
- 1
Set a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet and place it near the stove. Pour vegetable oil into a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to a depth of about 3 inches and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C) on an instant-read thermometer.

While the oil heats, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Add the buttermilk and egg and stir until a thick, shaggy batter forms — it should cling to a spoon without running off.
