1

Heat 1 quart vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 365°F (185°C).

2

Preheat the oven to 200°F (95°C).

3

Whisk buttermilk, eggs, and 1/4 cup vegetable oil together in a bowl.

Whisk cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl; fold in buttermilk mixture, green onions, and minced onion until just combined.
