Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Prepare Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and finely chopped onion until smooth.

Combine and Fry

  1. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

  2. 4

    Heat Oil

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

  3. 5

    Fry Hush Puppies

    Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally.

  4. 6

    Drain Excess Oil

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the hush puppies from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve Warm

    Serve the hush puppies warm as a side dish or appetizer with your favorite dipping sauce.
