Hush Puppies Ingredients
Method
Hush Puppies Directions
Prepare the Batter
In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir in the chopped onion.
Mix Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk and egg until well combined.
Combine Mixtures
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Hush Puppies
Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Make Honey Butter
In a small bowl, mix together softened butter and honey until smooth.
