Ingredients

1½ cups corn meal

½ cup flour

1 Tbsp sugar

2 tsp baking soda

2 tsp salt

1 Tbsp onion, finely minced

1 egg

1 cup buttermilk

1 Tbsp bacon drippings

4 Tbsp ice water

Directions

Sift together corn meal, flour, sugar, soda and salt.

Place onion in a small bowl. Add egg, buttermilk and bacon drippings and beat until frothy.

Pour all at once into the corn meal mixture and stir lightly to mix.

Add ice water 1 Tbsp at a time and mix until the dough will drop from the spoon but is not “runny.”

Drop by tablespoonfuls into hot oil (about 350 to 360°) in deep fat fryer for about 2 minutes or until evenly browned, turning to keep all sides evenly browned.

Note: If you have never cooked hushpuppies before, remember to turn them often, even in a deep fryer. If allowed to brown on bottom first, the hushpuppies will become “bottom heavy” and will not easily turn, resulting undercooking on the top.

This is a great, great recipe!! The addition of the sugar is fabulous. Of course, the buttermilk also makes them fabulous. Does something different....just the right combination! :)

Reporting back: I made your hushpuppies over the weekend (with fried fish and assorted other goodies) and they were great! I added a little minced jalapeno pepper because I had them and wanted a pinch of heat...but your recipe rocked. Thanks so much and a Big 5! =)
