How to Make Beer And Tomato Hush Puppies

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and tomato; gently mix to combine.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir in the beer. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Pour vegetable oil into a large, heavy-bottomed skillet to a depth of 2 inches.
  6. Heat the oil over medium-high heat to 375°F (190°C). Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature.
  7. Once the oil is hot, carefully drop rounded tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  8. Fry the hush puppies for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. (Adjust cooking time based on batter thickness).
  9. Remove the hush puppies from the skillet and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  10. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
