Onion and Herb Hush Puppies - A Delicious Southern Treat!
Onion and Herb 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 onions, herbs, and cornmeal, making them a flavorful and satisfying snack or side dish.
To make Onion and Herb Hush Puppies, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup milk
- Vegetable oil, for frying
To start, mix together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and oregano in a large bowl. Add the chopped onion and parsley, and stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir until just combined.
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, use a small cookie scoop or spoon to drop the batter into the oil, one tablespoon at a time. Fry the hush puppies until they are golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Remove the hush puppies from the oil with a slotted spoon, and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve hot, with your favorite dipping sauce.
These Onion and Herb Hush Puppies are the perfect appetizer or side dish for any occasion. They are crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and bursting with flavor. The combination of onions, herbs, and cornmeal creates a unique and delicious taste that will leave your taste buds wanting more.
