Hush Puppies Ingredients
Method
Hush Puppies Directions
Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well.
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if it sizzles, it's ready.
Fry the Hush Puppies
Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Drain and Serve
Remove the hush puppies from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
