Jiffy Hush PuppiesIngredients

  • 1 box of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
  • 1/2 cup of cornmeal
  • 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup of milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
  • 1/2 cup of finely chopped onion
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, cornmeal, flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until fully combined.
  3. Pour the milk and egg mixture into the cornmeal mixture and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
  4. Gently fold in the chopped onions until distributed evenly throughout the batter.
  5. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop a small spoonful of batter in; if it sizzles, you’re good to go.
  6. Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, carefully drop balls of batter into the hot oil. Fry a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
  7. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove the hush puppies from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  8. Repeat until all the batter is cooked. Serve hot, and enjoy your delicious Jiffy Hush Puppies!

These hush puppies are guaranteed to be a hit at your next meal. They’re easy to make and oh-so-delicious—perfect for sharing with family and friends. So go ahead, whip up a batch and let the good times roll!
