• timp activ: 10 minutes
• timp total: 16 minutes

Ingrediente

1 cup (138g) cornmeal

1/2 cup (71g) all-purpose flour (scooped & leveled)

2 Tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 large egg (lightly beaten)

3/4 cup (169g) buttermilk

1/2 small onion (grated (about 1/4 to 1/3 cup)

Peanut or vegetable oil (for frying)

Instrucțiuni

Combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cayenne pepper in a large mixing bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, and buttermilk. Add to the dry ingredients along with the grated onion and its juices, stirring until combined.

Heat 2 inches of oil over medium-high heat in a large cast iron skillet or dutch oven until it reaches 375°F on a digital thermometer. When hot, carefully use two spoons to drop tablespoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, using the back of one spoon to push the batter in one at a time. Work in batches so as not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes, turning partway through with a wire spatula, until the hush puppies are golden brown.

Remove the hush puppies from the oil and transfer to a wire rack set over a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Keep an eye on the oil temperature while frying so that it stays consistent, adjusting the heat up or down as necessary.
