Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter

   • In a large bowl, whisk together the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and granulated sugar.
   • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined.
   • If using, fold in the chopped scallions.

2. Heat the Oil

   • Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer over medium-high heat.
   • The oil should reach about 350°F (175°C).

3. Fry the Fritters

   • Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil.
   • Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
   • Use a slotted spoon to carefully flip the fritters.

4. Drain and Serve

   • Remove the cooked fritters from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
   • Serve the hot fritters with your favorite dipping sauce, such as honey, maple syrup, or a drizzle of honey and hot sauce.

Enjoy!
