Ingredients

  • Oil for deep frying
  • 1 cup Yellow corn meal
  • ½ cup White rice flour
  • ½ cup Masa flour
  • 1 tablespoon Tapioca Starch/Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoon Baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon Baking soda
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 2 cups Buttermilk
  • ¼ cup Butter melted
  • 1 Medium onion finely chopped

Instructions

  • Heat oil 375F (190 C)
  • Combine all dry ingredients, whisking to combine. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and chopped onion together.
  • Combine wet and dry ingredients, mixing until well combined and relatively smooth. Cover with plastic film, allow to sit for 10 minutes.
  • Gently drop rounded teaspoons of batter into the heated oil. Fry in small batches - allowing oil to come back up to temperature between each batch - until golden brown.
  • As hush puppies are cooked, use a (metal!) slotted spoon to transfer them from the oil, to a pan lined with paper towels.
  • Serve hot
