Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup chopped green onions
- 3 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and onion powder.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and large egg until well combined.
Step 3
Gradually stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the chopped green onions gently.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep pan or dutch oven to 350°F (175°C). It's important the oil is at the right temperature to achieve crispy puppies.
Step 5
Using two spoons, carefully drop tablespoon-sized dollops of batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Work in batches if necessary.
Step 6
Fry the hush puppies for 3 to 4 minutes, turning occasionally until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Remove the hush puppies from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the hush puppies warm and enjoy as a side dish or appetizer.
