Hushpuppies

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

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

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables and Wet Ingredients

    Stir in the chopped jalapeno and green onions. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Hushpuppies

    Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
