Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup onion, finely minced
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 unit large egg
- 3 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
Stir in the minced onion, evenly incorporating it into the dry mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick, well-combined batter forms. Do not overmix.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot to 365°F (185°C). Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature using a thermometer.
Using a small spoon or a cookie scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding the fryer.
Cook the hush puppies for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Rotate as needed for even cooking.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked hush puppies to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the hush puppies warm as a side dish, appetizer, or snack. Pair them with dipping sauces or serve alongside fried fish or barbecue.
