Classic Hushpuppies
Classic Hushpuppies are the perfect accompaniment to your fish fry! They come together quickly - and disappear just as fast! Everyone loves them so much that you might want to double the batch!
Servings: 25 hushpuppies
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoons seafood seasoning plus more for serving
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons granulated garlic
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1 cup whole buttermilk
- 1 medium sweet onion finely diced
- Peanut oil for frying
- Butter and honey for serving
Instructions
- Sift together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, seafood seasoning, salt, granulated garlic, and onion powder.
- In a separate bowl whisk together the egg and buttermilk. Add the buttermilk mixture to the dry ingredients, and then stir in the onion. Mix until fully moistened. Allow the batter to rest on the counter while the oil heats.
- In a large deep pot, heat 4-inches of oil to 350°F. Using a tablespoon or a 2-ounce ice-cream scoop to divide the batter, fry in batches, carefully dropping the batter into the hot oil. Cook around 4 minutes, turning as needed for even browning. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
- Season the hushpuppies lightly with additional seafood seasoning immediately after removing from the oil. Keep warm in a 250°F oven between batches, if desired.
Notes
- Serve the hushpuppies warm as is or with a side of butter and a drizzle of honey.
