Hush Puppies Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Batter

   In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well.

2. 2

   Add Onion and Milk

   Stir in the finely chopped onion. Gradually add the milk to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

3. 3

   Heat the Oil

   In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

4. 4

   Fry the Hush Puppies

   Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally.

5. 5

   Drain and Serve

   Remove the hush puppies with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with lemon curd and apple butter on the side.
