Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten-free cornmeal
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 piece Large egg
- 0.5 cup Diced onion
- 4 cups Canola oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free cornmeal, gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until a thick batter forms. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the diced onion until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Heat the canola oil in a deep skillet or pot to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature.
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, shape and drop balls of batter (about 1 inch in diameter) into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Cook the hush puppies for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and thoroughly cooked through.
Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the hush puppies from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve warm and enjoy your Gluten-Free Southern Style Hush Puppies with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side to your meal!
