Hushpuppy

Hushpuppy (/ˈhʌʃˌpʌpi/), also known as cornbread ball, is a small, savory, deep-fried ball made from cornmeal-based batter. Hushpuppies are a popular food in the Southern United States.

Etymology

The term "hushpuppy" dates back to at least 1899. The name is often attributed to hunters, fishermen, or other cooks who would fry some basic cornmeal mixture (possibly that they had been bread-coating or battering their own food with) and feed it to their dogs to "hush the puppies" during cook-outs or fish-fries.

Ingredients

The primary ingredients in a hushpuppy are cornmeal, wheat flour, eggs, salt, baking soda, milk or buttermilk, and water, and may include onion, spring onion (scallions), garlic, whole kernel corn, and peppers. Sometimes pancake batter is used. The batter is mixed well, then dropped a spoonful at a time into hot oil. The small bread balls are fried until crispy golden brown, and served hot.
