Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk together until well blended.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together milk and egg until smooth. Add chopped green onions and cooked shrimp, mixing until evenly distributed.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping in a small amount of batter; it should sizzle immediately.

  2. 5

    Fry Hushpuppies

    Using a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown, turning occasionally.

  3. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Once golden brown, remove hushpuppies from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
