Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
For Frying
  • as needed Oil for frying (vegetable or peanut oil)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Give it a good whisk.
  2. In another bowl, mix together the milk and egg. Then, add the finely chopped onion.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix, stirring until just combined.
Cooking
  1. Heat about 2 inches of oil in a heavy-bottomed pan until hot (around 350°F).
  2. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil and fry until they turn a beautiful golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Finishing Up
  1. Remove the hushpuppies from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  2. Sprinkle salt on top while they are still hot.

Notes

You can test the oil temperature by dropping a small bit of batter into the oil. For flavor variations, try adding jalapeños for heat or bell peppers for sweetness. Serve with homemade remoulade or a spicy aioli.
