How to Make Hush Puppies Ala Nita
- Preheat your deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot filled with peanut oil to 325°F (165°C). Test the oil temperature by adding a drop of water; it should sizzle immediately.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of cornmeal, 1 cup all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Gradually add 1 cup of boiling water to the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
- Stir in ½ cup buttermilk until just combined.
- Beat 1 large egg lightly and stir it into the batter.
- Add 1 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped, and stir to incorporate.
- Finally, add ½ teaspoon of baking soda and gently fold it into the batter. Do not overmix.
- Using a teaspoon or a small ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Avoid overcrowding the fryer.
- Fry the hushpuppies for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the hushpuppies from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve your delicious Hush Puppies Ala Nita immediately while they're hot and crispy. Enjoy!
