  • 1 egg ๐Ÿฅš
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions:

  1. Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the beer, cornmeal, water, egg, and garlic powder. Stir until all the ingredients are well incorporated. The batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.

  2. Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature for best results.

  3. Form the Hush Puppies: Using a teaspoon, scoop out portions of the batter and carefully drop them into the hot oil. Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet, as this will lower the oil temperature and affect the frying process.

  4. Fry Until Golden Brown: Fry the hush puppies for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once all the hush puppies are cooked, serve them hot alongside your favorite Southern dishes like fried catfish, french fries, cole slaw, and dill pickle spears. These crispy, savory treats are sure to be a hit at any gathering!

Tips:

  • For extra flavor, you can add chopped onions, jalapenos, or bell peppers to the batter.
  • Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve that perfect crispy exterior.
  • Serve the hush puppies immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Now, get ready to indulge in the best hush puppies you’ve ever tasted! ๐Ÿคค
