How to Make Hush Puppies With Onions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 cup chopped yellow onion.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1 cup boiling water.
  3. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking constantly until a smooth batter forms. Add more boiling water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach a thick but pourable consistency.
  4. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  5. Drop spoonfuls of batter (about 1 tablespoon each) into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  6. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy! These are delicious on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
