These Homemade Hush Puppies are the perfect blend of crispy and tender! Lightly golden on the outside with a soft, flavorful interior, they’re a must-have side or snack for any meal.
Ingredients:
- 1 box Jiffy cornbread mix
- ½ cup onion, grated
- 5 tablespoons buttermilk
- 1 egg, beaten
- ¼ cup panko bread crumbs
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
Directions:
- Prepare the Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Jiffy cornbread mix, grated onion, buttermilk, beaten egg, panko bread crumbs, all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, and baking powder. Mix until just combined. - Chill the Batter:
Place the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 5 hours. This helps the flavors meld and firms up the batter for better frying. - Heat the Oil:
In a large stockpot or deep fryer, heat 2-3 inches of oil to 350-375°F (175-190°C). - Fry the Hush Puppies:
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, drop balls of dough into the hot oil. If using a spoon, dip it in the oil to release the dough more easily. Fry for 2-3 minutes, turning them halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on all sides. - Drain and Serve:
Remove the hush puppies from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
