Just Right - Easy Hush Puppies Recipe

Prep Time 10 minutes
Course Appetizer, Bread, Side Dish
Cuisine American

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup self rising flour
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 to 1 tsp cajun seasoning (I used Slap Yo Mama)
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp grated onion and the juices
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Combine all of the ingredients except the boiling water and butter.  Bring the water to a boil with the butter and add to the dry ingredients.  Stir to combine.  The batter will be kind of wet.  Heat the oil in a skillet to medium-high and drop the hush puppies by teaspoon or tablespoon into the hot oil.  Cook until golden brown on the first side, flip and cook until browned completely.  I cook these at medium high instead of high heat because they will be doughy if you brown them to fast.  Serve as an appetizer, with fried fish or just a snack.  Don't forget to slather them in butter!
