Time 30m

Yield 48 hushpuppies

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups self-rising white cornmeal
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 large jalapeno, chopped fine
Kosher salt
2 cups buttermilk
8 cups peanut oil, for frying

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix the cornmeal, onions, jalapeno and a pinch of salt. Add enough of the buttermilk to make a stiff batter. You may not need the whole 2 cups.
  • Heat the peanut oil in a deep fryer or a large heavy bottomed pot to 250 degrees F.
  • Drop the batter into the hot oil by teaspoonfuls. The hushpuppies will turn over in the oil as they cook. They are done when they are brown all over, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels and season with salt. Keep the hushpuppies warm while you fry the remaining batter. Serve hot.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my hush puppies turned out flat and dense. I'll have to try again.

These hush puppies were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my hush puppies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These hush puppies were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

These hush puppies were delicious! I especially loved the crispy outer crust. I served them with fried catfish and coleslaw, and it was a perfect meal.

I was a bit skeptical about making hush puppies from scratch, but I'm so glad I tried this recipe. They were so much better than the store-bought ones! I'll definitely be making these again.

These hush puppies were a hit at our last family gathering! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with a delicious cornmeal flavor. I'll definitely be making them again soon.
