Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and buttermilk together until fully combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just mixed. The batter will be slightly lumpy.
- Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil to coat the bottom.
- Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the skillet, spreading them slightly to form small patties.
- Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- To add variety, try mixing in cheese, herbs, or spices like jalapeños for extra flavor.
- For a sweeter version, stir in sugar or honey.
- Ensure the oil is hot enough to get that perfect crispy texture.
