Drescription

These crispy and golden hush puppies, studded with bits of onion and jalapeño, get a healthy makeover by skipping the deep fryer. The air fryer delivers on the classic crispy crust while using just a fraction of the oil from the classic version.

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups fine plain yellow cornmeal
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup chopped jalapeño pepper
  • ¼ cup chopped yellow onion
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • cooking spray

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°F. Combine cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, garlic powder, cayenne and salt in a medium bowl. Add jalapeño and onion; stir to combine. Whisk together buttermilk, melted butter and egg in a small bowl. Add the buttermilk mixture to the cornmeal mixture and stir to blend. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
  2. Preheat air fryer and fry basket to 400°F for 10 minutes. Remove the basket; carefully line with foil and coat lightly with cooking spray. Scoop 4 heaping tablespoonfuls of the chilled batter onto the prepared basket. Coat the tops lightly with cooking spray. Cook until puffed and golden brown, about 9 minutes. Transfer the cooked hush puppies to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining batter.
