Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Southern Hush Puppies.
Step 1
Begin by assembling all the essential ingredients for your hush puppies.
Step 2
In a deep saucepan, pour in about 2 inches of oil and heat it over medium heat until it reaches a sizzling 365°F (185°C).
Step 3
While the oil warms up, take a medium bowl and mix together the diced onion, sugar, and beaten eggs until well combined.
Step 4
Gradually fold in the self-rising flour and cornmeal, stirring until you achieve a smooth, cohesive batter.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully drop rounded teaspoonfuls of the batter into the oil, frying them in small batches of about four at a time.
Step 6
Allow the hush puppies to fry for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until they turn a delightful golden brown.
Step 7
When they are perfectly cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer the hush puppies to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve these golden delights hot, and savor the crispy, flavorful goodness!.
