Hushpuppies

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Add the finely chopped onion, buttermilk, and beaten egg to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Hushpuppies

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

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the hushpuppies from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with pepper jelly on the side.
