Hush Puppies from the Loveless Cafe image

I haven't tried these yet. The chef from the Loveless Cafe was on the Martha Stewart show and made these. They looked too good to pass up.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups cornmeal
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 cup grated onion
1/4 cup sliced green onion
1 large egg yolk
1 cup buttermilk
6 large egg whites
canola oil, for frying

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • Stir in onions.
  • Combine egg yolk and buttermilk; stir into cornmeal mixture until combined.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat egg whites until stiff. Gently fold into cornmeal mixture.
  • Fill a large deep skillet with 2 to 3 inches oil. Heat oil until it reaches 375° on a deep-fry thermometer.
  • Working in batches, drop batter, 1 teaspoon at a time, into the oil and cook, turning once, until the hush puppies rise to the surface and are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
  • Serve immediately.
