Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten-free cornmeal
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 cups Vegetable oil for frying
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free cornmeal, gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg until well combined.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 4
Fold in the finely chopped onions, garlic powder, and paprika. Allow the batter to rest for about 5 minutes.
Step 5
While the batter is resting, pour the vegetable oil into a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the right temperature.
Step 6
Once the oil is ready, carefully drop tablespoon-sized portions of the batter into the hot oil using a spoon or small cookie scoop. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 7
Cook the hushpuppies for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious gluten-free hushpuppies with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side to your favorite Southern dish.
