Ingredients
- 2 cups yellow cornmeal
- 2 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup finely chopped onion
- 1.5 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 2 beaten egg
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, chopped onion, sugar, cayenne pepper, salt, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder.
- In a separate bowl, combine the milk and beaten eggs.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick batter forms.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot over medium-high heat.
- Using an ice cream scoop or spoon, drop small balls of batter into the hot oil.
- Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside your desired main dish.
Notes
– Make sure to use a light hand when mixing the ingredients together. Over-mixing the dough will result in tough hush puppies.
– If the hush puppies are not cooking evenly, turn the heat up slightly.
– To make sure the hush puppies stay crispy, make sure to serve them right away.
– If you don’t have buttermilk, you can use regular milk in its place.
– For a more flavorful hush puppy, add in some chopped fresh herbs or grated cheese.
– If you don’t have a deep fryer, you can use a large pot filled with oil.
