Hush Puppies Ingredients
Method
Hush Puppies Directions
Prepare the batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add wet ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and beaten egg. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the chopped onion.
Heat the oil
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 365°F (185°C).
Fry the hush puppies
Using a spoon or small scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Drain and serve
Remove the hush puppies from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
