Homemade Hush Puppies - Because You Can’t Have a Fish Fry without Hush Puppies!

Homemade Hush Puppies 1 1/2 cups self-rising cornmeal 1/2 cups self-rising flour 2 Tablespoons sugar 1/2 teaspoons salt 1 cup whole buttermilk 1 egg 1 onion, finely chopped Oil for frying Add oil to a heavy bottom sauce pan. Heat to about 350°. You will know the oil is hot enough for frying the hush puppies when a pinch of the hush puppy mixture is dropped into the hot oil and it starts to sizzle. While the oil is heating, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, and salt together in a medium bowl. Whisk the egg into the buttermilk. Add these wet ingredients to the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Stir in the onion. Allow the batter to rest for about five minutes. This will be a very thick batter. Drop the batter by heaping tablespoons carefully into the hot oil and fry for 5 to 6 minutes. If the hush puppies don’t turn over on their own, flip them over once and fry until both sides are a golden brown and cooked through. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Work in batches so that the oil temperature does not drop while the hush puppies are frying. Serve while warm. This will make about 20 large hush puppies.
