Preparation

Step 1

Mix all of the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add your eggs, oil, and buttermilk. Stir it all up until the flavors are thoroughly blended.
Heat 3”-inches of oil in a Dutch oven to 350˚. When oil has reached the right temperature you can drop your hush puppies into the hot oil using a tablespoon. Allow them to brown on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes.
They should begin floating when done, but if they don’t, be careful not to overcook them. They’re ready when they’re golden brown all over.
