Ingredients:
- 2 C white cornmeal (preferably Albers brand)
- 3/4 C – 1 C buttermilk
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 onion – chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp flour
- corn oil
Directions:
- In a large pot, pour corn oil so it is about 3″ deep and heat to 350 degrees
- In a bowl, mix all the ingredients together (except corn oil, of course) until the consistency is smooth, but not too runny – start off with 3/4 C buttermilk, then add more if needed
- With a spoon, take a glob of the mixture and drop it into the hot oil – it should curl up and look like a dumpling
- Cook until brown
- Drain on a paper towel
