Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Heat the Frying Oil
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to around 365°F (185°C). Maintaining the right temperature is key to achieving perfectly crispy hushpuppies.
2. Combine Onion and Sugar
In a mixing bowl, combine the finely diced onion and granulated white sugar. This adds a hint of sweetness and extra flavor.
3. Incorporate Beaten Eggs
Stir in the well-beaten eggs until the mixture is evenly combined. The eggs help bind everything together.
4. Add Flour and Cornmeal
Gradually add the self-rising flour and self-rising cornmeal, stirring until a consistent batter forms. This combination creates the classic texture.
5. Drop Spoonfuls into Hot Oil
Using a spoon or small scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Avoid overcrowding the pot to ensure even cooking.
6. Fry Until Golden Brown
Fry each hushpuppy for about 1–2 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Flip them occasionally for uniform browning.
7. Drain and Serve
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve warm as a delicious side or snack.
Serving Tip
Enjoy hushpuppies with your favorite dipping sauces or alongside fried fish and coleslaw for a classic Southern meal.
