Hush Puppies

Whipped Honey Butter

Method

Hush Puppies

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and chopped onion. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Hush Puppies

    Using a tablespoon or small scoop, drop the batter into the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Whipped Honey Butter

  1. 5

    Mix Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter with a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.

  2. 6

    Add Honey and Salt

    Add the honey and a pinch of salt to the butter. Continue to beat until well combined and fluffy.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Transfer the whipped honey butter to a serving dish and serve alongside the warm hush puppies.
