Hush Puppies (12) Recipe

Hush Puppies Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Dry Ingredients

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Mix well until all dry ingredients are thoroughly blended.

2. 2

   Add the Vegetables

   Stir in the finely chopped onion into the dry mixture, ensuring that the onion is evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.

3. 3

   Mix Wet Ingredients

   In a separate bowl, combine the milk and the beaten egg. Whisk together until well mixed.

4. 4

   Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

   Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick.

5. 5

   Heat the Oil

   In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough that a small drop of batter sizzles when added.

6. 6

   Fry the Hush Puppies

   Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

7. 7

   Drain and Serve

   Once cooked, remove the hush puppies from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm as a delicious side or snack.
