Equipment
- Bowl
- Skillet
Ingredients
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 2 cups cornmeal
- 3 tsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 9 tbsp finely chopped onion
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground red pepper
- 1 cup milk
- 1 Large egg
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the milk and egg together until completely blended. Add this mixture to the cornmeal mix and stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Using a tablespoon, drop dollops of batter into the skillet and press down lightly with the back of the spoon for the desired shape. Continue this with the remaining batter, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet.
- Fry each hush puppy for 3-4 minutes until golden brown on both sides and then carefully flip them over with a spatula. Once cooked, transfer onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Serve these warm and crispy hush puppies with your favorite condiments or toppings.
Notes
- If you find that the hush puppies are sticking to the sides of the pan while frying, add a bit more oil or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- To keep your hush puppies warm, place them in an oven set to low heat until all of them have been cooked.
- To make sure your hush puppies are cooked evenly, use a spoon to flatten them out before frying.
- If you want to add some extra flavor to your hush puppies, try adding finely diced jalapenos or other herbs and spices.
- For an even tastier snack, try serving the hush puppies with a side of honey mustard
