Ingredients
3/4 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup oat milk
1 egg lightly beaten
3 green onions, minced (only the green part)
1 quart vegetable oil
Directions
- Combine the dry ingredients – flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, cayenne, and garlic powder in one bowl. Stir in the soy milk and beaten eggs into the dry ingredients along with green onions. Mix until just combined. Let the batter sit for 10-15 minutes
- In a large deep cast iron or dutch oven, heat 2 quarts of oil to 365°F. Using a tablespoon sized ice cream scoop with spring release, drop 5-9 balls into the hot oil.
- Fry until golden brown, turning consistently for even cooking. Remove with a slotted spoon. Drain on paper towel. Repeat until you’re out of batter.
