Ingredients

• 1 cup Gluten-free cornmeal
• 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 1 piece Large egg
• 0.5 cup Diced onion
• 4 cups Canola oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free cornmeal, gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients.

Step 2

In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until a thick batter forms. Avoid overmixing.

Step 4

Fold in the diced onion until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 5

Heat the canola oil in a deep skillet or pot to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature.

Step 6

Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, shape and drop balls of batter (about 1 inch in diameter) into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Step 7

Cook the hush puppies for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and thoroughly cooked through.

Step 8

Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the hush puppies from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your Gluten-Free Southern Style Hush Puppies with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side to your meal!
