Preparation Instructions
Make the Beignet Batter
In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the blue crab meat and chopped green onions.
Heat the Oil
In a deep pan or fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if it bubbles and rises, it's ready.
Fry the Beignets
Using a spoon or small scoop, drop portions of the batter into the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
