Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 large egg (lightly beaten)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 ⅔ cup cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup chopped green onions
  • 1 cup Peanut oil (for frying)

Instruction

  • In a large bowl, whisk together all ingredients except peanut oil, mixing until well combined.
  • Heat the oil to a depth of about 1/4 inch in a heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat.
  • When the oil is hot but not smoking, spoon in the batter using a heaping tablespoon measure per fritter. Do not crowd the pan and do not let the edges of the fritters touch.
  • Cook, turning once, until golden brown. About 4 minutes cooking time total. Cook in batches until all batter is used.
  • As each batch of fritters is cooked, transfer them to a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Keep warm in a low oven.
