Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
Step 2
In a separate small bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk. Stir to combine.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing as this can make the hush puppies dense.
Step 4
Fold in the finely chopped onion to distribute it evenly throughout the batter.
Step 5
In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil to 365°F (185°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil stays at the right temperature for frying.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon or small scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 7
Cook each batch for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, until the hush puppies are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Step 8
Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the hush puppies from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the hush puppies warm as a side dish or snack. They're delicious on their own or paired with dipping sauces like tartar sauce or honey butter.
