- 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
- ⅓ 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
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
