Description

Crispy, golden hush puppies made with cornbread mix, grated onion, and buttermilk. Perfect as a side dish or snack for family meals.


Ingredients

  • 1 box Jiffy Cornbread Mix
  • ½ cup Grated Onion
  • 5 tablespoons Buttermilk
  • 1 Egg, beaten
  • ¼ cup Panko Bread Crumbs
  • 3 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Baking Powder


Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix cornbread mix, grated onion, panko breadcrumbs, flour, salt, pepper, and baking powder.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk and beaten egg. Add wet ingredients to dry and stir until just combined.
  3. Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Drop tablespoon-sized portions of batter into hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown, 2–3 minutes per side.
  5. Drain on paper towels and serve warm.

Notes

  • Add jalapeños or herbs for extra flavor.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven to restore crispiness.
