Hushpuppies
Method
Preparation
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well.
Add Jalapeños and Onions
Stir in the chopped jalapeños and sliced green onions until evenly distributed.
Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk and beaten egg.
Combine Mixtures
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Heat Oil
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry Hushpuppies
Using a tablespoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally.
Drain and Serve
Remove hushpuppies from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with creole ranch dressing.
