Crispy Fried Cornbread:

Here’s the full recipe for Crispy Fried Cornbread:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
  2. Add wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and buttermilk together. Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be thick but pourable.
  3. Heat the oil: Pour about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil into a large skillet or frying pan. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. You can test the oil by dropping a small spoonful of batter into the pan. If it sizzles, it’s ready.
  4. Fry the cornbread: Carefully spoon the batter into the hot oil, using about 2 tablespoons of batter for each fritter. Fry the cornbread until golden and crispy on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Don’t overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary.
  5. Drain: Once crispy and golden, remove the cornbread fritters from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  6. Serve: Serve your crispy fried cornbread warm with butter, honey, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Enjoy!
