Thanks to a bunch of tourists fishing down in Florida, Hush Puppies made their debut in 1934. There are many myths surrounding the origin of Hush Puppies; but this food has been an item of every Southerners cuisine for years, I just had to add a Hush Puppy recipe of my own!

  • Yields: 6 servings

Directions

Prepare a large bowl lined with a decent amount of paper towels, to drain the oil. Set aside.

Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cayenne in a large bowl.

In a separate medium bowl stir together buttermilk, eggs, and the grated onion. Pour over dry ingredients and stir together until just combined.

Set aside to rest for 1 hour.

Pour Canola to a depth of 2" in a 6-qt. dutch oven and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.

Using a tablespoon, drop small rounds of batter into the oil, making sure to not crowd the pan. (I put about 8-10 at a time).

Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally and flipping halfway through, until crisp and golden on the outside.

Remove the hush puppies from the oil and drain in prepared bowl.

Let cool for about 4 minutes.

Serve with Tartar Sauce & Enjoy!
