Heat about 6cm high oil in a large, deep cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven to 180°C.
In a medium bowl whisk together the mielie meal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and a good pinch of salt in a medium bowl.
In a separate bowl, beat in Amasi and eggs until combined, then stir in the melted butter and spring onions to make a thick batter.
In two batches, drop the batter by the tablespoonful into the hot oil. Fry, turning once, until crisp and golden, about 3 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels; season immediately with salt. You are ready to serve.
