Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups cornmeal
- 1/2 cup self-rising flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil plus more as needed (for frying)
Instructions
- Combine the cornmeal, self-rising flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a mixing bowl, using a fork to mix evenly.
- Separately, in a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, honey, and egg. Pour the wet mix into the dry ingredients and stir until all of the dry ingredients are fully incorporated. The dough will be thick.
- Heat 1/4 cup of the vegetable oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Drop a heaping tablespoon of the batter into the hot oil to form a patty.
- Fry until the bottom is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes, and then flip and fry the other side for 2-3 minutes. Add more oil as needed for subsequent batches. Place the patties on paper towels to drain excess oil before serving.
