Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.75 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until evenly blended.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, honey, and melted butter until smooth.
Step 3
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick batter forms.
Step 4
Using your hands, form the batter into small, oval-shaped patties, about 2 inches long.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Test the oil by dropping in a small amount of batter; it should sizzle gently.
Step 6
Carefully place the corn dodgers into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Cook in batches if necessary.
Step 7
Fry the dodgers for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked corn dodgers to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Serve warm as a snack or side dish. Enjoy!
