Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 egg
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- Milk (quantity as needed)
Instructions:
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, yellow cornmeal, pepper, salt, and sugar. Stir until evenly mixed.
-
Add Egg and Onion: Crack the egg into the dry ingredients mixture. Add finely chopped onion to it. Mix well until the egg is fully incorporated and the mixture is evenly distributed.
-
Adjust Consistency: Slowly add milk to the mixture, about 1/4 cup at a time, stirring continuously. Keep adding milk until you achieve a thick, scoopable consistency. The mixture should hold its shape but still be moist.
-
Heat Oil: In a deep frying pan or pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough to fry the hush puppies but not smoking.
-
Form Hush Puppies: Using a large teaspoon, scoop up portions of the batter and carefully drop them into the hot oil. You can shape them into small balls or ovals as you drop them into the oil.
-
Fry Until Golden: Fry the hush puppies in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each batch for about 2-3 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they turn golden brown and crispy on all sides.
-
Drain and Serve: Once golden brown, remove the hush puppies from the oil using a slotted spoon or tongs. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain off any excess oil.
-
Enjoy: Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside your favorite main dish. These hush puppies are best enjoyed fresh and crispy!
