Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten free flour blend - I use Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking Flour
- ¾ cup regular cornmeal - also called medium ground cornmeal
- ½ cup corn flour or finely ground cornmeal - Not cornstarch
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- canola oil for frying
Instructions
- Place a candy thermometer in a saucepan or deep fryer with at least 2 inches of vegetable oil and heat to 360 degrees. Adjust the heat while cooking to keep the oil temp between 350-360 degrees. Expect that the temp will fluctuate as you place & remove hush puppies from the oil.
- Combine the dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and the wet ingredients in a large bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir well to combine.
- Working in batches, use a mechanical cookie or ice cream scoop (that holds a heaping tablespoon of dough) to carefully drop dough into the hot oil. Allow to fry for 2-3 minutes, until they are well-browned and cooked through.
- I recommend frying a one or two hush puppies at first to check the temp & timing before frying a whole batch. If the exterior is well-browned but the interior isn’t cooked through, then lower the temp about 5-10 degrees and try again. If they soak up a lot of oil and take more than 3 minutes to become well browned, the temp is too low.
