½ cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
¾ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
¾ cup unsweetened plant-based milk
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
3 scallions, thinly sliced (green parts only)
1 jalapeño, seeded and finely diced (optional)
4 cups neutral oil, for frying (such as canola oil or vegetable oil)

Instructions

1
Combine the plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar in a large mixing bowl and let stand for 5 minutes until slightly curdled.
2
Add the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, black pepper, and cayenne to the bowl. Stir until just combined — a few small lumps are fine. Fold in the scallions and jalapeño, if using. The batter should be thick and scoopable, not pourable.
