Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup plain cornmeal, not self rising
- 1 cup all purpose flour, I used gluten-free.
- 1 tablespoon granular sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cajun seasoning, your favorite variety
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup grated onion
Equipment
Instructions
- In a bowl combine the egg and buttermilk, set aside.
- In a larger bowl combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cajun seasoning, cayenee pepper and salt. Stir well and make sure everything is well incorporated.
- Stir in the wet ingredients and the grated onion. Allow the mixture to sit a few minutes while the oil heats.
- Heat at least 2 inches of vegetable oil in a skillet or saucepan. When the oil reaches 350-375 degrees, drop spoonfuls of the hushpuppy batter into the hot oil. Use a slotted spoon to turn the hush puppies over, making sure they are browning on all sides.
- When the hush puppies are completely browned and reach an internal temperature of 165 (usually about 2-3 minutes) remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels.
- Sprinkle with sea salt, serve with whipped butter and hot honey.
Notes
I got 16 hush puppies from mine, but you will likely manage to get 14-18 depending on the size of your spoonfuls.
