Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for a smoky flavor)
- 1 large Egg, lightly beaten
- 0.5 cup Low-sodium buttermilk
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika (if using).
Step 2
Add the finely chopped onion to the dry mixture and stir to combine.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the lightly beaten egg and low-sodium buttermilk until fully combined.
Step 4
Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until a thick batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
Heat vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). A drop of batter should sizzle immediately upon contact with the oil.
Step 6
Using two spoons or a small cookie scoop, carefully drop tablespoon-sized portions of the batter into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Step 7
Fry the hush puppies for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crisp. Use a slotted spoon to transfer cooked hush puppies to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Repeat with the remaining batter, ensuring the oil temperature remains consistent.
Step 9
Serve the hush puppies warm as a side dish or appetizer. Enjoy!
