Ingredients
- 1 cup plain unsweetened soy milk or other nondairy milk, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons ground flaxseed meal
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons grapeseed, canola, or safflower oil, plus 1 quart for frying
- 4 green onions, minced
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
Cinnamon-Honee Butter:
- 1 cup plain unsweetened soy milk or other nondairy milk, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup vegan butter at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons Bee Free Honee or other vegan liquid sweetener
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together soy milk and vinegar to make a vegan buttermilk. Set aside to thicken and curdle for 5 minutes.
- In another small bowl, stir together flaxseed meal and ¼ cup of water. Set aside to thicken for at least 3 minutes. In a medium bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking soda and salt.
- Pour buttermilk mixture into flaxseed mixture. Add 2 tablespoons oil and whisk to combine. Pour wet mixture into dry and stir well. Fold in green onions and jalapeño.
- In a large Dutch oven, heat the quart of oil to 350°. Double-line a large plate with paper towels and keep nearby.
- Scoop balls of batter—each one should be about 2 tablespoons’ worth—into the hot oil. Add as many scoops as you can fit in at a time without overcrowding. Gently stir with a wooden spoon. Once balls float to the surface and turn golden color, they are done. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to prepared plate.
- To make Honee Butter, in a medium bowl, beat vegan butter with a hand mixer on medium speed. Add vegan honee, cinnamon and salt. Beat until light and airy. Add more sweetener if desired. Serve at room temperature.
