Hushpuppies

Directions

• Whisk dry ingredients in a large bowl to combine. Add butter and work in with a cold fork until mixture resembles coarse meal.
• Make a well in the center of flour mixture and add egg and buttermilk, gradually incorporating into a smooth batter.
• Halfway fill a large heavy saucepan with oil. Using a candy or deep-fry thermometer, heat oil over medium-high until thermometer registers 350°.
• In batches, carefully drop 1-tablespoon balls of batter into oil and fry, turning often and adjusting heat to maintain temperature, until hushpuppies are puffed and deep golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
• Serve with Danish Creamery European Style Rosemary Salt Butter.
