Method
Preparation
- 1
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well until all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- 2
Prepare Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until fully combined. Stir in the chopped green onions.

Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Frying
- 4
Heat Oil
In a deep frying pan or a heavy pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.

Fry Hushpuppies
Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown.

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the hushpuppies from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
