from Bon Appetit

INGREDIENTS

• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup medium-grind cornmeal, preferably stone-ground
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 large egg, separated and whites beaten stiff
• 1 cup buttermilk
• ⅓ cup vegetable oil (consider cutting back, was greasy)
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

RECIPE PREPARATION
