Equipment
- Fryer or Dutch Oven
- Box Grater
- Small cookie scoop
- Paper Towel
Ingredients
- 1½ c Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1-1 Baking Flour
- ½ Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Yellow Corn Meal
- 1 t Gluten Free Baking Powder
- 1½ t Sea salt
- 2 t Sugar
- 2 t Onion Powder
- 1/4 t Black Pepper Ground
- 1/3 c Yellow Onion Grated
- 1 large Egg
- 1 c 2% Milk
- 32 oz Vegetable Oil for fryer
- 1/4 t Cayenne Pepper optional--if you like a little heat
- 1 T Onion Juice
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, sugar, onion powder, black pepper, and optional cayenne.
- Whisk dry ingredients to combine.
- Grate a medium onion on the box grater over a dish or bowl. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, add one cup milk, 1 egg, 1/3 c of the grated onion, and 1 T of the leaked onion juice. Whisk to combine.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
- Cover the batter with plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.
- While the batter is chilling, add the oil to your dutch oven or fryer, and preheat to 375°F.
- When batter has chilled and oil is hot, use a small cookie scoop to drop batter into the oil.
- Drop 8-10 scoops into the oil at a time. They will sink--this is okay! They will rise to the top of the oil as they begin to cook.
- Fry to a deep golden brown.
- Continue to fry in batches until the batter is gone.
- Serve warm with your favorite ketchup or tarter sauce.
