Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten-free cornmeal
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 cups Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free cornmeal, gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the finely chopped onions, garlic powder, and paprika. Allow the batter to rest for about 5 minutes.
While the batter is resting, pour the vegetable oil into a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the right temperature.
Once the oil is ready, carefully drop tablespoon-sized portions of the batter into the hot oil using a spoon or small cookie scoop. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Cook the hushpuppies for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious gluten-free hushpuppies with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side to your favorite Southern dish.
