Ingredients
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 C sugar
- salt
- 1 C cornmeal
- 3/4 C flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Peanut oil, for frying
Instructions
- Whisk together the eggs, sugar, and salt, to taste, in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornmeal and flour.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until incorporated and the batter is thick.
- In a Dutch oven, heat enough peanut oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 360ยบ F.
- Working in batches, drop the batter, 1 tablespoon (I like to use a small ice cream scoop) at a time, into the oil, being careful to not overcrowd the pot.
- Fry until deep golden on all sides, turning in the oil for even cooking, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the hushpuppies to a paper towel-lined dish and sprinkle with salt while hot.
