Ingredients

30 servings

•

vegetable oil, for frying
•

¾ cup all-purpose flour
•

¾ cup cornmeal, fine-grind
•

2 ½ teaspoons sugar
•

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
•

1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt

•

2 teaspoons McCormick® Jazzy Spice Blend
•

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, (1/2 stick) cubed and chilled
•

1 large egg, beaten
•

1 cup buttermilk
•

1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
•

½ small yellow onion, finely chopped

Instructions

Fill a medium pot with 4 inches (10 cm) of oil and heat over medium heat to 350˚F (180˚C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and Jazzy spice blend.
Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, add the butter and work into the flour mixture until it resembles a coarse meal and the butter pieces are no larger than peas.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the egg and buttermilk. Working from the center outward, gradually mix into the dry ingredients until a smooth batter forms. Add the jalapeño and onion and mix gently just to incorporate. Be careful not to overmix.
Working in batches, use a 1-ounce (28 G) ice cream scoop or tablespoon to quickly but carefully scoop 8-10 balls of batter into the hot oil. Adjust the heat to maintain the oil temperature. Cook, turning the hush puppies frequently with a slotted spoon or spider, until golden brown and puffy, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a rack lined with paper towels to drain and repeat with the rest of the batter.
Enjoy!
