- In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well-blended.
- Fold in the chopped onions until evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg. Gradually stir this mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Gently fold in the sweet crab meat, being careful not to break it apart too much.
- In a deep frying pan, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C).

- Allow to cool slightly, then serve with garnishes and dipping sauces.
