Hush Puppies Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large bowl, mix together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

  2. 2

    Add the Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, combine the milk and beaten egg. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Remaining Ingredients

    Fold in the chopped jalapeno, corn kernels, and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Hush Puppies

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

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the hush puppies from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm.
