To make these Corn and Zucchini Hush Puppies, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup of cornmeal
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/2 cup of fresh corn kernels
- 1/2 cup of grated zucchini
- 1/4 cup of chopped green onions
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup of milk
- Vegetable oil for frying
To start, mix together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Add in the fresh corn kernels, grated zucchini, and chopped green onions, and stir until everything is well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk, and then pour the mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is well combined and a thick batter forms.
Heat up a large pot or deep fryer with vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, use a small cookie scoop or spoon to drop small balls of the batter into the oil. Fry the hush puppies for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once the hush puppies are done, remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil. Serve the hush puppies hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
These Corn and Zucchini Hush Puppies are the perfect appetizer for any occasion. They are crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and bursting with flavor. The combination of fresh corn and zucchini gives them a unique taste that is sure to impress your guests.
