Provided by Michelle

Categories     Appetizer     Side Dish

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

¾ cup cornmeal
½ cup all-purpose flour
1½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¾ cup buttermilk
2 eggs
¼ cup minced yellow onion
2 quarts peanut or vegetable oil (for frying)
⅓ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Sriracha

Steps:

  • Make the Batter: Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cayenne in a large bowl. Whisk in the buttermilk, eggs and onion until combined. Let the batter sit at room temperature for 10 minutes, or up to 1 hour.
  • Make the Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise and Sriracha. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Fry the Hush Puppies: Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or deep cast iron skillet over medium-high heat to 350 degrees. Drop half of batter into oil in heaping tablespoons (I used a small cookie scoop) and fry until deep golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, turning hush puppies halfway through cooking.
  • Transfer to a wire rack set over a double layer of paper towels and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve immediately. The hushpuppies can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Provided by Tasty

Yield 30 hush puppies

Number Of Ingredients 12

vegetable oil, for frying
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup cornmeal, fine-grind
2 ½ teaspoons sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons McCormick® Jazzy Spice Blend
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, (1/2 stick) cubed and chilled
1 large egg, beaten
1 cup buttermilk
1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
½ small yellow onion, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Fill a medium pot with 4 inches (10 cm) of oil and heat over medium heat to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and Jazzy spice blend.
  • Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, add the butter and work into the flour mixture until it resembles a coarse meal and the butter pieces are no larger than peas.
  • Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the egg and buttermilk. Working from the center outward, gradually mix into the dry ingredients until a smooth batter forms. Add the jalapeño and onion and mix gently just to incorporate. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Working in batches, use a 1-ounce (28 G) ice cream scoop or tablespoon to quickly but carefully scoop 8-10 balls of batter into the hot oil. Adjust the heat to maintain the oil temperature. Cook, turning the hush puppies frequently with a slotted spoon or spider, until golden brown and puffy, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a rack lined with paper towels to drain and repeat with the rest of the batter.
  • Enjoy!

Time 23m

1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/4-1/3 cup vidalia onion, finely chopped (about 1/2 small onion, may use other sweet onion)

  • Using 2 tablespoons, dip into water. Scoop up about a tablespoonful of the batter and using the other spoon, push off the batter, drop into the hot oil. You can work this in batches.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
