Bacon and Onion Hushpuppies

These savory hushpuppies are packed with smoky bacon and sweet onions, perfect as a side dish or appetizer.

Ingredients - Serves 6

Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the grease in the skillet.
Add the onion to the skillet and cook until soft and translucent.
In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the egg, buttermilk, cooked bacon, and onion. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F.
Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the hushpuppies with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
