Ingredients
1 QUART VEGETABLE OIL FOR FRYING, OR AS NEEDED
1 CUP BUTTERMILK
1/4 CUP VEGETABLE OIL
2 EGGS, ROOM TEMPERATURE
1 CUP CORNMEAL
1 CUP ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR
1/4 CUP WHITE SUGAR (OPTIONAL)
1/2 TEASPOON BAKING SODA
1/2 TEASPOON SALT
1/2 CUP MINCED ONION
4 GREEN ONIONS, MINCED
Steps
Heat 1 quart vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
Whisk buttermilk, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, and eggs in a bowl.
Combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Fold buttermilk mixture, onion, and green onions into cornmeal mixture until just mixed.
Drop 6 to 8 tablespoon-sized balls of batter into the hot oil; fry until each hush puppy is golden brown, turning the hush puppies to cook evenly, 6 to 10 minutes. Remove hush puppies with a slotted spoon and place on brown paper bags to drain. Repeat with any remaining batter.
Transfer hush puppies to a baking sheet and keep warm in the preheated oven until ready to serve.
Enjoy!
