Ingredients
- 8 cups canola oil
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- Kosher salt
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Instructions
- Fill a Dutch oven or other heavy pot with the canola oil, and heat to 350 degrees F. Line a plate with paper towels.

Reviews
This is just a review for the mustard. Very good except I think that perhaps there is a typo in the recipe. I would use 1/2 of a cup of mustard powder and 1 cup of honey. Tastes way too hot when first made. Needs to mellow in the refrigerator for a few days to really get the flavor vs just heat. Don’t try to taste if straight off of a spoon. Use a hotdog or corndog. It needs some other flavor with it to really appreciate it. Great mustard. Of the 8 mustards my siblings and I made this was our favorite.
mine did not turn out as nice looking but tasted ok
I halved the recipe. So much easier than it looks. Just make sure your batter is not too thick. I ended using a little than half of the buttermilk. These were delicious!
