Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk together until well combined.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and chopped onion until well mixed.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir until just combined; do not overmix. The batter should be thick.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 5

    Fry the Hush Puppies

    Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown, turning occasionally.

  3. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the hush puppies from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce.
