flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

Whole wheat flour adds more fiber and nutrients.

buttermilk

🥗Healthier: low-fat yogurt

Low-fat yogurt provides a similar tangy flavor with fewer calories.

In a bowl, combine 1 cup of flour and 1 cup of white self-rising cornmeal.

Add 1 egg and 1 cup of buttermilk to the mixture.

Finely chop 3 green onions and add them to the bowl.

Add a nice pinch of kosher salt, 1.5 teaspoons of garlic powder, a dash of cayenne pepper, and a pinch of black pepper to the mixture.

Stir until combined to create a thick batter.

Heat Crisco in a deep fryer or heavy pot until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Test the oil by dropping a spoon into it; if it bubbles, the oil is ready.

Using a tablespoon or ice cream scoop, drop small amounts of batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the fryer.

Fry until the hush puppies turn golden brown, allowing them to turn themselves in the oil.

Remove the hush puppies with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
