Servings: persons

1/2 cup diced rhubarb (about 1 medium stalk)
1/2 cup fresh corn kernels
2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup 3 tablespoons whole grain yellow cornmeal (I use Arrowhead Mills)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
11/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard seed
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 egg white, beaten until soft peaks form
canola oil for frying
pure maple syrup (I like Grade B) for dipping

1
["In a 4-quart saucepan, pour at least 2"" of canola oil and set to heat over high.
2
In a small bowl, toss together the diced rhubarb, corn kernels and sugar. Let sit while you make the rest of the batter.", "In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, salt, soda, baking powder, and ground mustard. Stir in the buttermilk until well combined and then add the rhubarb-corn kernel mixture, again stirring gently until well combined.
3
Gently(!) fold in the soft-peak egg white until incorporated but don't overmix.", "When your oil is hot -at least 340 degrees- use a teaspoon to carefully drop small mounds of batter into the pan. Fry until golden (you might want to flip each hush puppy once) and then remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
4
Serve warm with maple syrup!"]

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
