Ingredients :
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour sifted
- 1 cup fine yellow cornmeal
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt plus more, to taste
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 small onion minced
- 2 tablespoons scallions finely sliced
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 to 2 quarts vegetable oil for frying
Directions :
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Add egg, onion, and scallions, and stir until combined. Add milk in small amounts until a thick batter forms.
- In a large pot, Dutch oven, or deep fryer, bring 3 inches of oil to 350 degrees. Drop batter in rounded teaspoons into the batter and fry until brown, about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even browning.
- Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt. Serve warm.
