Ingredients
- 120 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 60 grams Chickpea flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 large Egg
- 120 milliliters Milk (gluten-free)
- 100 grams Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
- 500 milliliters Sunflower oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, chickpea flour, baking powder, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix well to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
Step 2
Add the egg and milk to the dry ingredients, and mix until you have a thick batter.
Step 3
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and finely chopped green onions. Stir gently to incorporate them evenly throughout the batter.
Step 4
Roll spoonfuls of the batter into balls about the size of a walnut, using your hands to shape them. If the batter is too sticky, slightly moisten your hands to help with shaping.
Step 5
In a large saucepan or deep fryer, heat the sunflower oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 6
Carefully drop a few balls at a time into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan. Fry each batch for about 3-4 minutes or until the balls are golden brown and crispy on the outside, turning occasionally for even frying.
Step 7
Remove the fried balls with a slotted spoon and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 8
Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm, as the centers should be soft and cheesy.
