Hush Puppies
Honey Butter
Method
Hush Puppies
Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well until all dry ingredients are incorporated.
Heat Oil
In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of the batter into it; if it sizzles and rises, it's ready.
Fry the Hush Puppies
Using a spoon or a small scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally.
Drain
Remove the hush puppies with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Honey Butter
Mix Ingredients
In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, honey, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
