Southern comeback sauce, honey or butter for serving
Instructions
In a medium bowl, use a whisk to sift together all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, seasoned salt, granulated garlic, paprika and baking soda. Add the onion, then stir to evenly distribute.
In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk and egg. Make a well in the center then add wet to the the dry ingredients mixing with a silicone spatula until fully moistened.
Heat oil in a Dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot to 350-360°F. Use a small scoop (1 1/2 Tbsp) to divide the batter.
Fry in batches for around 2 minutes per side or until golden, turning as needed. Remove from oil using a slotted spoon or stainless steel spider to a paper towel lined baking sheet.
