Crispy Cornmeal Drop Doughnuts
Ingredients
- peanut or corn oil for frying
- 0.75 cup self-rising flour
- 0.5 cup self-rising cornmeal mix
- 0.25 cup sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 egg
- 0.5 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 0.5 cup sugar
Steps
- Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- In a bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal mix, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, beat the egg together with the buttermilk. Gradually add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring with a fork or whisk until only slightly lumpy. Be careful not to overmix.
- Carefully drop batter by the rounded teaspoonful into hot oil, and fry until golden brown. Drain and cool on a paper towel-lined plate. Roll balls in a small amount of cinnamon mixed with sugar, if desired, or just enjoy plain!
