Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 60 grams Chickpea flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 large Egg
- 120 milliliters Milk (gluten-free)
- 100 grams Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
- 500 milliliters Sunflower oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, chickpea flour, baking powder, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix well to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
Add the egg and milk to the dry ingredients, and mix until you have a thick batter.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and finely chopped green onions. Stir gently to incorporate them evenly throughout the batter.
Roll spoonfuls of the batter into balls about the size of a walnut, using your hands to shape them. If the batter is too sticky, slightly moisten your hands to help with shaping.
In a large saucepan or deep fryer, heat the sunflower oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully drop a few balls at a time into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan. Fry each batch for about 3-4 minutes or until the balls are golden brown and crispy on the outside, turning occasionally for even frying.
Remove the fried balls with a slotted spoon and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm, as the centers should be soft and cheesy.
