How to Make Catfish Parlour Hush Puppies

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter.
  3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Gently fold in the chopped green onions.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  6. Roll the hushpuppy batter into small, cigarette-shaped tubes, about 3-4 inches long and ½ inch in diameter.
  7. Carefully place the hushpuppies in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet.
  8. Fry the hushpuppies for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Remove the hushpuppies from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
  10. Serve immediately with tartar sauce and jalapeño tartar sauce.
