Provided by jettskitchen.com

Categories     Appetizer     Side Dish

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix ((8.5 ounce box))
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup yellow onion (grated)
peanut oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Combine ingredientsPlace all ingredients in a medium bowl and stir by hand until well combined. Refrigerate mixture for at least 1 hour.
  • Heat deep fryerHeat peanut oil to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. I highly recommend using a temperature controlled deep fryer opposed to a deep pot on the stove.I use the Farberware 4L Double Deep Fryer. Although it is exclusively available at Walmart this one here is very similar to the one I use.Tip: When taking the hot food out of the oil you'll want to be prepared. So, line a baking sheet with paper towels and then place a baking rack on top of that as set aside until ready to use.
  • Scoop batterScoop up the batter with a cookie scoop and gently place the batter into the hot oil. I usually cook 5 to 7 at a time. Careful not overcrowd the batter in the fryer or you could have a mess on your hands.
  • CookAllow the batter to cook in the hot oil for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown. This recipe will make around 20 - 25 hush puppies.Keep an eye on those pups. If you're lucky you might even catch them doing somersaults in the hot oil. LOLTip: It's okay to flip them a few times with the spider strainer while frying, just be careful.
  • Remove From OilCarefully remove hush puppies from oil with the spider strainer.Scoop out hush puppies and place them on the baking rack.Complete above steps until all batter is fried.
  • Allow to cool for a few minutes. Serve as a side to fish and chips or whatever your little heart desires but most of all enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use cold beer for a crispy batter: The carbonation in the beer helps to create a light and airy batter. Chilling the beer before using it helps to keep the batter cold, which results in a crispier hush puppy.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the hush puppies tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fry the hush puppies in hot oil: The oil should be at least 350 degrees Fahrenheit before frying the hush puppies. This will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the hush puppies from becoming greasy.
  • Drain the hush puppies on paper towels: After frying, drain the hush puppies on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  • Serve the hush puppies hot: Hush puppies are best served hot and fresh out of the fryer. You can serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, tartar sauce, or honey mustard.

Conclusion:

Cheesy deep-fried hush puppies are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or game day gatherings. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these delicious hush puppies that are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
