Description

These hush puppies are made from a simple batter with a hint of celery and garlic. They are quick and easy and ready in less than 30 minutes.

Ingredients

1 quart vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup self-rising cornmeal
1/2 onion, minced
1/2 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
1 stalk celery, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pinch Cajun seasoning, or to taste

Directions

1 Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2 Mix flour, cornmeal, onion, milk, egg, celery, garlic, and Cajun seasoning in a bowl.
3 Drop ping pong ball-sized balls of batter, about 5 at a time, into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove hush puppies with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
