Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Peanut oil, for frying
1 cup yellow cornmeal
3/4 cup self-rising flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 small Vidalia onion, finely grated
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1 cup buttermilk
1 large egg, beaten
1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat 2 inches peanut oil in a deep-fryer or Dutch oven to 375 degrees F. Whisk the cornmeal, flour, 1 teaspoon salt, the sugar, cayenne and paprika in a large bowl to get rid of the lumps. (No one likes a lumpy hushpuppy.) Mix in the remaining ingredients, stirring well to combine.
  • Dip 2 spoons into a mug of water (this allows the batter to come clean off). Scoop up about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the batter and carefully slide it into the hot oil, working in batches. Fry the scoops of batter 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked all the way through (test the first one for doneness). Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined baking sheet, seasoning with salt as soon as they come out of the fryer.

I've never had hushpuppies before, but these were amazing! I'm definitely going to make them again.

These hushpuppies were good, but not great. I think I prefer the ones from my local seafood restaurant.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my hushpuppies turned out really greasy. I think I might have used too much oil.

These hushpuppies were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more seasoning next time.

I've made hushpuppies before, but these were the best I've ever had. The cornmeal and flour combination gave them a great texture, and the seasoning was perfect. I'll definitely be using this recipe from now on.

These hushpuppies were easy to make and turned out great! I followed the recipe exactly and they were perfect. I served them with fried catfish and coleslaw, and it was a delicious meal.

I made these hushpuppies for a party and they were a huge hit! Everyone loved them, and they were gone in no time. I'll definitely be making them again soon.

These hushpuppies were absolutely delicious! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with a perfect balance of flavors. I'll definitely be making these again and again.
