Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 4 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups corn meal
  • ½ cup flour
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp creole seasoning
  • 1 15 oz can creamed corn
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup chopped green pepper or a small can of chopped green chilies
  • Cooking oil

Instructions
 

  • Blend the corn meal, flour, baking power, baking soda, salt, onion powder and creole seasoning together with a whisk.
  • Blend the creamed corn, sour cream, egg, and green peppers.
  • Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients – if its too stiff, add a little beer or milk to it.
  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours ahead of cooking. This will help them hold their shape better in the oil.
  • In a deep pan or Dutch Oven, heat your oil to 375 degrees.
  • Drop 5-6 balls of dough into the oil at a time, using two spoons or small cookie scoop.
  • Cook until golden brown on all sides, remove with a slotted spoon or spider onto a paper towel line plate and cover to keep them warm.
