Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup cornmeal fine grind or medium grind
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 2-3 Tbsp cane sugar or coconut sugar
- 3 stalks green onion finely chopped
- 2/3 cup buttermilk or cream
- 2 large eggs lightly beaten
- 3 cups avocado oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add all dry ingredients and whisk to combine.
- Add the onion, buttermilk and eggs to the dry mixture and mix until combined.
- In a large thick-bottomed pot or saucepan, heat about 3 – 4 cups of high temperature cooking oil to 350 degrees.
- Using your hands, form balls (about a tablespoon worth of dough works great) and carefully drop them in the hot oil with a heat resistant spoon. The oil should bubble around the hushpuppies and should naturally turn them in circles, evenly cooking them and creating a nice crispy outside. This only takes a minute or two or until golden brown/desired level of crisp. Fry 3 to 6 at a time so that the puppies have plenty of space.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Serve with burgers and eat leftovers with jam for breakfast the next day.
