Southern Hushpuppies: Cornmeal Fritters Full Of Flavor
1.
Welcome to the world of Southern Hushpuppies! These crispy cornmeal fritters are a staple in Southern cuisine, full of flavor and perfect for any occasion.

First, gather your ingredients: cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, buttermilk, eggs, and diced onions. Don't forget the secret ingredient - a dash of cayenne pepper for a little kick!
3.
In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add in the buttermilk. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, stirring until well combined.

Next, fold in the diced onions. This adds a burst of flavor and texture to the hushpuppies. Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty and mix it all together with your fingers.
5.
Heat up a pot of oil to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, drop small balls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, until golden brown.
6.
Remove the hushpuppies from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt while they're still hot for an extra burst of flavor.

Now it's time to enjoy these delicious fritters! Serve them as a side dish with your favorite Southern meal, or as a tasty appetizer with a dipping sauce of your choice.
