Ingredients
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
- 1 tbsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 1/2 cup Onion diced
- 1 Egg
- 1/2 cup Milk
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, diced onion, beaten egg, and milk. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Heat the Oil. In a deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat the frying oil to 350°F over medium-high heat. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the oil temperature for best results.
- Fry the Hush Puppies. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet. Fry the hush puppies for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Drain and Serve. Using a slotted spoon or spider strainer, transfer the fried hush puppies to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside your favorite Southern dishes.
