Ingredients

⅓ cup almond milk (80ml)
2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (30g)
1½ cup cornmeal (238g)
½ cup gluten free flour (68g)
2 tablespoon raw cane sugar (28g)
1 teaspoon baking powder (4g)
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (0.5g)
1 tablespoon chives (3g)
½ teaspoon garlic powder (1.5g)
½ teaspoon pink salt (3g)
1 flax egg
2 tablespoon vegan butter (16g)melted
2 tablespoon onion (20g)grated
olive oil spray for air frying

Instructions

In a medium sized bowl or a jug, combine the almond milk with the apple cider vinegar to make buttermilk, whisk and set aside.
In another medium sized bowl, add the cornmeal, gluten free flour, raw cane sugar, baking powder, cayenne pepper, chives, garlic powder and pink salt.
Whisk to combine the dry ingredients and set aside.
Add the flax egg, vegan butter and grated onion to the buttermilk and stir.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined into a soft pliable doughball(if you have any dry spots, you may need to add more almond milk, a tablespoon at a time).
Lightly spray or coat the air fryer basket with olive oil and set aside.
Coat your hands with olive oil and at the same time pinch off a small piece of the dough and roll in the palm of your hands to create a small bowl.
Place the ball in the air fryer basket.
Repeat the above two steps with the rest of the dough.
Air fry at 180C/356F for roughly 5 minutes or until the first side is golden.
Turn them over, spray the tops spray/coat the tops with oil and cook for 5 minutes until golden.

Notes

Keep in mind these hush puppies are gluten free/vegan and air fried so in appearance and taste they won't look/taste like their deep fried counterpart.

The cooking time is a general guideline only, it should take around that timeframe.

This is the recipe you will need to make aFlax Egg.

It is very important that the dough is roll-able, it shouldn't be runny nor too firm.

Feel free to add peppers, chopped spring onion or even corn kernels if you want to.

I used my homemade Gluten Free Flour recipe, but any GF flour should work.

Make sure your hands are oiled each time you roll the dough to prevent dry spots.

You should make a total of 14 hush puppies.

If you need to add more flour or almond milk, do so using a tablespoon at a time.
