Instructions
- Heat a medium-size pot with cooking oil to 350°.
- Add all of the ingredients to a large bowl and mix using a spoon or whisk until completely combined and smooth. If the batter is dry add more buttermilk and if it’s too wet, add some more flour. The batter should be thick.
- Using two spoons take about a tablespoon to a tablespoon and a half of batter and push it into the hot oil using the other spoon. The hush puppy should come to the top of the oil within a few seconds, then cook for a total of about 5 minutes or until browned on all sides and cooked throughout.
- Remove the hush puppies and drain them on paper towels to rid of any excess oil.
- Serve with your favorite sauce.
Notes
- Chef Notes:
- Make-Ahead: Serve these up and soon as they are done frying. If you want, you can keep them warm in the oven at 200° on a cookie sheet tray lined with parchment paper for up to 30 minutes before serving. The longer they sit in the oven, the drier they will become.
- How to Reheat: Place the desired amount in a small pan or on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper and bake in the oven at 350° for 4-6 minutes or until warm. You can also heat in the microwave until warm.
- How to Store: Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. These will freeze covered for up to 3 months. To reheat, go straight from the freezer to the oven.
- Other ingredients you can add are garlic, spicy peppers, bell peppers, and other Cajun seasonings.
- I like to use peanut oil for frying.
- While the hush puppies are frying, be sure to move them around to ensure they get browned.
