Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 cups finely-ground white or yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
3/4 cup chopped fresh scallions
3 eggs, lightly beaten
Oil, for frying

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, pepper, salt, sugar, baking soda and cayenne. In another bowl, gently mix the buttermilk, scallions and eggs.
  • Whisk the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined, then rest the batter for 10 minutes.
  • In a 6-quart stockpot, pour enough oil to fill the pan about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 350 to 360 degrees F. Drop small scoops or rounded tablespoons of the batter into the oil in batches of eight. As soon as the hush puppies start to float, use tongs to rotate and cook until both sides are crisp and light golden brown, 60 to 90 seconds. It helps to put a pasta strainer on top of the hush puppies at this point to keep them submerged. Use a slotted spoon to remove the hush puppies, and transfer to a clean brown paper bag to remove excess grease. Repeat for the remaining batter, about 24 hush puppies total.
  • Serve the hush puppies steaming hot.

The hush puppies didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked.

I found that the hush puppies were a bit bland. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.

These hush puppies were a bit too greasy for my taste.

I'm not a huge fan of hush puppies, but these were actually really good. The cornmeal crust was crispy and the inside was soft and fluffy.

I was a bit skeptical about making hush puppies from scratch, but I'm so glad I did. They turned out perfect!

I've tried a lot of hush puppy recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cornmeal crust is crispy and the inside is soft and fluffy.
