Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix the cornmeal, onions, jalapeno and a pinch of salt. Add enough of the buttermilk to make a stiff batter. You may not need the whole 2 cups.
- Heat the peanut oil in a deep fryer or a large heavy bottomed pot to 250 degrees F.
- Drop the batter into the hot oil by teaspoonfuls. The hushpuppies will turn over in the oil as they cook. They are done when they are brown all over, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels and season with salt. Keep the hushpuppies warm while you fry the remaining batter. Serve hot.
Tips for Making Grandma's Hush Puppies:
- Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your hush puppies.
- Make sure the batter is the right consistency. The batter should be thick enough to coat the cornmeal, but not so thick that it's difficult to stir.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the hush puppies tough.
- Fry the hush puppies in hot oil. The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when the hush puppies are dropped in.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. Frying too many hush puppies at once will lower the temperature of the oil and make them greasy.
- Drain the hush puppies on paper towels. This will help to remove excess oil.
- Serve the hush puppies hot. Hush puppies are best served immediately after they are fried.

Grandma's hush puppies are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving them at a family dinner, a picnic, or a potluck, these hush puppies are sure to be a hit.
