Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 egg, beaten
- 0.75 cup milk
- 4 cups vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Add the finely chopped onion to the dry ingredients and mix to distribute evenly.
In a separate small bowl, beat the egg and mix it with the milk.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should have a thick consistency.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Use a deep-fry thermometer to monitor the temperature.
Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter (about 1 to 2 tablespoons per hush puppy) into the hot oil. Be careful not to overcrowd the pot.
Fry the hush puppies for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the hush puppies to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm as a side dish or snack. Enjoy!
