Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onion
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the oil and work area: Heat 2 inches of oil to 350°F to 360°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet or tray with paper towels.
- Make the batter: In a bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and cayenne (if using). In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk and egg. Stir into the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in the chopped green onion.
- Fry the hushpuppies: Drop batter by heaping teaspoons into the oil. Keeping batches small—too many at once cools the oil quickly—fry for 2 to 3 minutes, turning occasionally, until deep golden brown.
- Drain and serve: Drain on paper towels and season with a little salt.
