Method
Preparation
- 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.

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.

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
- 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.

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.

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.
