Hushpuppy Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the batter

    In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Add vegetables

    Stir in the chopped onion and green bell pepper until evenly distributed.

  3. 3

    Combine wet ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

  4. 4

    Heat oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry hushpuppies

    Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  6. 6

    Drain and serve

    Remove hushpuppies from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve warm.
