Hush Puppies Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

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

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk and the egg. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Onions

    Fold in the chopped onion until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry Hush Puppies

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

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the hush puppies with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
