The preparation

7 steps, about 30 minutes start to finish.

01
Heat oil to 375°F in a deep pot.
02
Whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, Old Bay, sugar, and garlic powder.
03
Stir in buttermilk, egg, onion, and jalapeño until just combined. Batter will be thick.
04
Drop batter by heaping tablespoons into hot oil. A small ice cream scoop works well.
05
Fry 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until deep golden brown.
06
Drain on a wire rack.
07
Serve immediately with hot sauce or tartar sauce.

lightbulb The chef's notes

“Keep the oil right at 375, too cool and they soak up grease, too hot and the outsides brown before the centers cook. A small scoop drops even rounds that fry through evenly.”
