Steps

  1. 1

    Mix cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in egg and buttermilk until just combined.

  2. 2

    Fold in cooled stuffing, celery, onion, sage, and thyme.

  3. 3

    Scoop rounded tablespoons and shape into balls. Spray with oil.

  4. 4

    Air fry at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway, until golden brown and crispy.

💡

Tip: Use leftover stuffing from Thanksgiving or boxed stuffing mix. The batter should be thick enough to hold the stuffing — if it's too wet, add more cornmeal. Let them cool a couple minutes so the inside sets.
