Delicious Jalapeno Hush Puppies are crispy, golden fritters made from thick cornmeal batter, fried to perfection with a crunchy exterior and a tender inside.
Ingredients
Directions
These crispy, fried cornmeal fritters are packed with jalapenos, chives, buttermilk, and seasonings, offering a delightful blend of textures and flavors that make them a favorite comfort food. A Southern classic, they’re often served as a side dish alongside fried seafood or barbecue.
Heat a frying pan with vegetable or canola oil to 350-360 degrees. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and place a baking rack on top for draining the hush puppies. Prepare and measure the ingredients, then stem, seed, and remove the membranes from the jalapeño before finely dicing it. Chop the chives finely as well.
In a medium bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: 1/2 cup of cornmeal, 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic salt, and 1 teaspoon of onion powder. Add the diced jalapeño and chopped chives, tossing until everything is evenly coated and well mixed.
Whisk the egg and buttermilk together, then mix it into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Once the oil is hot, drop rounded spoonsful of the batter into the oil. Fry for 5-6 minutes, turning them occasionally. Once they are golden brown, remove them from the oil and let them drain and cool for a few minutes.
Serve and enjoy!
