Ingredients
- 2 cups white cornmeal
- 1/4 cup all-purpose, unbleached flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 egg
- 1-1/4 cups buttermilk, whey, or 1 cup milk+1/4 cup yogurt
- 1/2 cup onions, chopped (I prefer frozen onions.)
- 1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped (optional)
- Peanut or vegetable oil for frying
Preparation
Step 1
Combine cornmeal, flour, salt, soda, and baking powder in a large bowl.
In separate bowl, whisk egg and buttermilk, whey, or milk/yogurt. Stir in chopped onion.
Using a light touch, merge the liquid ingredients with the dry just until moistened. Batter should be rather thin.
Allow to sit while oil comes to temperature, about 350 degrees F.
Use a small spring-loaded ice cream scoop to drop balls of batter into hot oil. Cook until golden brown all over and cooked through. If oil is too hot, puppies will brown before cooked in the middle. If oil is too cool, they will take a long time to get brown and absorb a lot of grease, so try to keep it constant.
