Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp. sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk or sour milk
  • 1 onion finely chopped, small
  • vegetable oil or shortening for deep-fat frying

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, stir together the first six ingredients (up to the salt). Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the next three ingredients (up to the green onions). Add the egg mixture all at once to the flour mixture. Stir just until moistened; the batter should be lumpy.
  3. In a 3-quart saucepan or deep fryer, heat 2 inches (5 cm) of vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). For each hush puppy, drop a slightly rounded tablespoon of batter into the hot oil. Fry three or four at a time for 3 minutes or until golden, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Adapted from Taste of Home.
  • To make 1/2 cup sour milk, place 2 tsp. lemon juice or vinegar in a glass measuring cup. Add enough milk to make 1/2 cup total liquid; stir. Let stand 5 minutes before using.
