Blueberry Cornmeal Hush Puppies

Blueberry Cornmeal Hush Puppies - A Delicious Southern Treat
Blueberry Cornmeal Hush Puppies are a classic Southern dish that is perfect for any occasion. These crispy, golden-brown balls of goodness are made with a combination of cornmeal, flour, blueberries, and a few other ingredients that come together to create a mouth-watering treat.

Ingredients (serves 4):

- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- Vegetable oil for frying

Cooking Tips:

- Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the hush puppies. The ideal temperature is around 375°F.
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to form the hush puppies into balls. This will ensure that they are all the same size and cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying. This will cause the temperature of the oil to drop and result in soggy hush puppies.

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
4. Gently fold in the blueberries.
5. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat.
6. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to form the batter into balls and drop them into the hot oil.
7. Fry the hush puppies for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
8. Use a slotted spoon to remove the hush puppies from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
9. Serve the hush puppies warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
