Hush Puppies Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Mix Dry Ingredients

   In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

2. 2

   Add Wet Ingredients

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Add the chopped onion to the wet mixture. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

3. 3

   Heat Oil

   In a deep skillet or pot, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

4. 4

   Fry Hush Puppies

   Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally.

5. 5

   Drain and Serve

   Remove the hush puppies from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with maple syrup drizzled on top or on the side.
