Ingredients
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 1 cup All Purpose Flour
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- ½ Fennel Seed
- 1 tsp Dry Mustard
- 1/2 cup Minced Onion
- 4 Diced Scallions
- 1 Minced Jalapeno
Instructions
- Preheat oil or fryer to 350 degrees.
- In a mixing bowl, combine buttermilk, vegetable oil, and eggs; mix well.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking soda, fennel seed, mustard, salt, and garlic powder; mix well.
- Mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients.
- Add the onion and jalapeno to the mixture and fold until evenly distributed.
- Using a small ice cream scoop, carefully, drop a scoop of the batter into the oil (do this few at a time until you get the hang of it). Cook each one for about five minutes or until they have a nice brown, crispy, crust.
- Place on paper towel to soak up some of the extra oil.
- Do a sample cook on one to test the doneness, adjust accordingly.
