00:00If you don't have these hushpuppies at your cookout or your fish fry, I'm not coming.
00:03First, we're going to chop our sweet onion. I love that little extra sweetness to add to the
00:06hushpuppies. Let's make our batter. Add our onions, two eggs, add a half cup of sugar.
00:12Now we're adding our sugar, and I know it looks like a lot, but this is the key as well. It's
00:15going to add that sweetness and complement that cornmeal. Now we're going to add our
00:18self-rising flour and cornmeal, and this is your secret weapon. This is going to make the
00:22dish super easy and fast to pull together. Let's get frying. So add your oil to a heavy
00:28bottom pot. To make this process even easier, I'm using an ice cream scoop to scoop and drop.
00:32As a hushpuppy connoisseur, this is the hushpuppy recipe you want to make today.
00:36These are crispy, sweet, tender, and just perfectly golden brown.
00:44So good. You're going to love it.
