Ingredients

Servings:6
  • 1 1/2 cups Yellow cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 3/4 cup Buttermilk
  • 1 large Egg, beaten
  • 3 tablespoons Honey
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 quart Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    In a separate small bowl, mix the buttermilk, beaten egg, and 1 tablespoon of the honey.

  3. 3

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just moistened; do not overmix the batter.

  4. 4

    Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to 365 degrees Fahrenheit.

  5. 5

    Drop the batter by rounded tablespoonfuls into the hot oil, working in small batches to avoid crowding.

  6. 6

    Fry for 2 to 3 minutes, turning occasionally, until the hush puppies are golden brown on all sides.

  7. 7

    Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack or paper towels.

  8. 8

    Whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons of honey with the melted butter and drizzle over the warm hush puppies before serving.
