Homemade Hush Puppies 🍞

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

Instructions

    1. 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.

    1. 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.

    1. Heat the Oil:
      In a large stockpot or deep fryer, heat 2-3 inches of oil to 350-375°F (175-190°C).

    1. 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.

    1. 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.

Notes

Enjoy these crispy, flavorful Homemade Hush Puppies as a perfect side or snack that’s sure to please everyone at the table!
