Green Onion Hush Puppies

Green Onion Hush Puppies - A Delicious Southern Treat
Green Onion 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, and green onions, giving them a unique flavor and texture that is sure to please.

Ingredients (serves 4):

- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg, beaten
- 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, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
2. Add the chopped green onions, milk, and beaten egg to the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined.
3. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
4. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to form the hush puppies into balls, about 1 tablespoon each.
5. Carefully drop the hush puppies into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
6. Use a slotted spoon to remove the hush puppies from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
7. Serve the hush puppies hot, with your favorite dipping sauce.
