Hush Puppies

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, mix the pimiento cheese, buttermilk, egg, and chopped green onions until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry Hush Puppies

    Using a spoon or small scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the hush puppies with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
