Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 1 egg, beaten
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Fold the finely chopped onion into the dry mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and beaten egg until fully combined.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a thick, slightly sticky batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes while you heat the oil.
In a deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a deep-fry thermometer for accurate temperature control.
Using a small cookie scoop or two teaspoons, carefully drop rounded spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
Cook each batch for about 3-4 minutes, turning the hush puppies occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked hush puppies to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side to fried fish or barbecue dishes.
