Step 1

Heat oil to about 350 degrees. I used a saucepan that I heated with a little over medium heat.

Step 2

Mix milk, egg, and onion in a bowl.

Step 3

Stir in dry ingredients; including, pancake mix, cornmeal, salt, onion, and spices into a smooth, thick batter.

Step 4

Scoop balls slightly smaller than ping-pong size. I even used my hands just to shape the dough.

Step 5

Drop about 5-6 balls into the oil at one time, and they will need to cook about 5-6 minutes.

Step 6

They should noticeably darken.

Step 7

Plus, be careful to not plop the balls into the oil so that the hot oil splashes on you.

Step 8

Either let it slide down the side while guiding it with a spoon, or just drop one on another one that is already in the oil.

Step 9

Remove and place on a paper towel lined plate that will help absorb some excess oil. Enjoy!
