Ingredients
1 box Jiffy Cornbread Mix
1/2 small onion, grated
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 large egg, beaten
1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon baking powder
Oil, for frying
Instructions
Mix batter: In a large bowl, combine Jiffy mix, grated onion, buttermilk, egg, panko, flour, salt, pepper, and baking powder. Stir gently until just combined — do not overmix.
Chill batter: Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help the batter firm up.
Heat oil: In a deep pot or fryer, heat 2–3 inches of oil to 350–375°F (175–190°C).
Fry hush puppies: Use a small scoop or spoon to drop batter into the hot oil. Fry 2–3 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crisp.
Drain and serve: Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
Notes
Add shredded cheddar for cheesy hush puppies.
Stir in diced jalapeños or cayenne for heat.
Add chopped green onions or herbs for extra freshness.
Want them sweet? Add a touch of sugar or honey to the batter.
