Hush Puppies Ingredients

Method

Hush Puppies Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all dry ingredients.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and beaten egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Add the chopped onion and stir until just combined.

  3. 3

    Heat Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 365°F (185°C).

  4. 4

    Fry Hush Puppies

    Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop small balls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the hush puppies from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
