Sun-Dried Tomato and Basil Hush Puppies are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that will leave your taste buds wanting more. These hush puppies are made with a combination of cornmeal, flour, and buttermilk, and are packed with the flavors of sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil.

To make these Sun-Dried Tomato and Basil Hush Puppies, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
- Vegetable oil, for frying

To start, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil, and stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg. Add the wet ingredients to 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 hush puppy batter into the oil, a few at a time. Fry the hush puppies for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Remove the hush puppies from the oil with a slotted spoon, and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil. Serve the Sun-Dried Tomato and Basil Hush Puppies warm, with your favorite dipping sauce.
These Sun-Dried Tomato and Basil Hush Puppies are the perfect combination of savory and slightly sweet, with a crispy exterior and a soft, fluffy interior. They make a great appetizer for any occasion, and are sure to be a hit with your guests.
