Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of cornmeal, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Whisk together until well blended.

  2. 2

    Prepare Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of buttermilk, 1 large egg, and the finely chopped medium onion until smooth and fully combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a deep frying pan or Dutch oven, heat 4 cups of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; it should sizzle and float to the surface.

  2. 5

    Fry Hushpuppies

    Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

  3. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the hushpuppies from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot as a delicious side dish or appetizer.
