Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat. In a 12-inch cast iron skillet, preheat your cooking oil to around 350 degrees F.
    6 cups vegetable oil
  • Mix dry ingredients. In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients, then whisk together until incorporated. Ensure your corn and scallions are coated in cornmeal and flour. This allows them to stabilize in the oil and not clump together.
    1 cup corn kernels, ¼ cup scallions, ½ cup cornmeal, ¾ cup all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons Hey Grill Hey Beef Rub, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • Mix wet ingredients. In a separate, medium-sized bowl, combine all the wet ingredients. Whisk together until everything is blended.
    1 eggs, ½ cup milk, 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • Combine wet and dry. Pour the wet mix over the dry mix, then stir everything together with a rubber spatula. You’re looking for a slightly lumpy batter, and for the corn and scallions to be evenly spread.
  • Fry hush puppies. Scoop balls of around 1 ½ Tablespoons, and place in fryer. Fry 5-7 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
  • Cool, serve, and enjoy. Remove your hush puppies to a wire rack to cool for a few moments. Serve as a side at your cookout with your favorite dipping sauce, and enjoy!
