Hush puppies are a great Southern tradition along with buttermilk coleslaw and Southern-fried catfish. Why not use all that buttermilk together in all your recipes? Try them all!
Ingredients
- 1 quart vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup white sugar (Optional)
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup minced onion
- 4 green onions, minced
Directions
Step 1
Heat 1 quart vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
Step 2
Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
Step 3
Whisk buttermilk, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, and eggs in a bowl.
Step 4
Combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Fold buttermilk mixture, onion, and green onions into cornmeal mixture until just mixed.
Step 5
Drop 6 to 8 tablespoon-sized balls of batter into the hot oil; fry until each hush puppy is golden brown, turning the hush puppies to cook evenly, 6 to 10 minutes. Remove hush puppies with a slotted spoon and place on brown paper bags to drain. Repeat with any remaining batter.
Step 6
Transfer hush puppies to a baking sheet and keep warm in the preheated oven until ready to serve.
Cook’s Notes:
Sugar makes a great hush puppy but it will make them brown faster. Be careful of your oil temperature and don't make the hush puppies too large so they will cook through.
