Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

  3. 3

    Add Black-eyed Peas

    Gently fold the cooked black-eyed peas into the batter until they are evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  5. 5

    Fry the Mixture

    Using a spoon or small scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried black-eyed peas from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
