2½ tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for frying
2½ cups self-rising flour
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1¼ cups whole buttermilk
Instructions
In a large Dutch oven, pour oil to fill halfway, and heat over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350°.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add buttermilk and oil, stirring until a thick batter forms.
Working in batches, carefully drop batter by ¼ cupfuls into hot oil. (Do not overcrowd pot.) Fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Remove using a slotted spoon, and let drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
