Method
Preparation Instructions
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
Add Wet Ingredients
Gradually stir in the beer until the batter is smooth. Fold in the chopped pickled jalapeños and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Heat Oil
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry Hushpuppies
Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally.
Drain and Serve
Remove hushpuppies from the oil and let them drain on paper towels. Serve warm with additional pickled jalapeños or your favorite dipping sauce.
