Hushpuppy Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

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

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Stir in the chopped onion, buttermilk, and beaten egg until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be thick.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Hushpuppies

    Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

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