- 2 cups yellow cornmeal plain
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 2 eggs lightly whisked
- Vegetable oil for frying
Step 1: Prepare the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, mix together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, sea salt, baking powder, baking soda, and smoked paprika. This will create the base for your hush puppies.
Step 2: Add the Fresh Ingredients
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, combine the whole milk and lightly whisked eggs. Slowly pour this mixture into the dry ingredients while stirring. You want everything to blend perfectly, resulting in a thick batter.
Step 5: Fry the Hush Puppies
To enhance your cooking experience, consider these handy tips:
- Don’t Rush the Steps: Properly heating the oil is crucial. If it’s too cool, the hush puppies will absorb too much oil. If it’s too hot, they may burn.
- Mix with Care: When combining wet and dry ingredients, avoid over-mixing. A few lumps are okay and can lead to fluffier hush puppies.
- Experiment with Additions: You can add jalapeños for a spicy kick or cheese for creaminess. Experiment according to your taste.
- Cool for a Bit: Let the hush puppies sit for a minute after frying. This allows the cooling process to enhance the flavors.
- Use a Deep Fry Thermometer: This will help maintain the right temperature for frying, ensuring consistent results.
