How to Make Best Ever Hush Puppies

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add the eggs, melted butter, and buttermilk. Stir until just combined; do not overmix. The batter should be thick.
  3. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Drop the batter by rounded teaspoons into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  5. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Remove the hush puppies from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  7. Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Enjoy!
