Ingredients
- 1 cup Fine Grind Cornmeal
- ¾ cup All Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
- ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Granulated Sugar
- ½ Small Yellow Onion finely grated
- 1 Large Egg
- ¾ cup Buttermilk
- 4 cups Vegetable Oil for frying
Instructions
- n a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup fine grind cornmeal, ¾ cup all purpose flour, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon granulated sugar.
- Stir in ½ finely grated small yellow onion, 1 large egg, and ¾ cup buttermilk until combined.
- Set aside and let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes before frying.
- While the batter rests, pour 4 cups vegetable oil into a large pot or dutch oven until the oil is about 1 ½ inches deep. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a small ice cream scoop, cookie scoop or 2 spoons to drop approximately 1 inch size balls of the batter into the oil approximately 5-7 at a time (do not over crowd the pan).
- Rotate the hush puppies frequently while in the oil to brown them on all sides. Fry them until all sides are browned (approximately 3-4 minutes).
- Remove the hush puppies from the oil with a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up the excess oil.
- Continue until all the batter is fried.
- Let the hush puppies cool slightly and then they're ready to serve and enjoy!
