Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 Eggs
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cups Finely chopped onion
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the yellow cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg, then add the milk and finely chopped onion. Stir to combine.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; avoid overmixing. The batter should be thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure consistent frying temperature.
Using a small cookie scoop or two spoons, drop tablespoon-sized portions of batter into the hot oil. Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet.
Fry the hush puppies in batches for about 2-3 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried hush puppies to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve warm as a delightful side dish with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside fried fish or BBQ.
