Servings: persons

3 cups Oil For Deep Frying
1 cup Fine Yellow Corn Meal
3/4 cups All-purpose Flour
1 pinch Red Chili Flakes
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoons Sugar
1/2 cups Red Onion, Finely Chopped
2 whole Scallions, Thinly Sliced
1 whole Serrano Chili, Seeded, Ribs Removed, Finely Chopped
1 cup Pulled Pork
1/2 cups Mexican Shredded Cheese
1 whole Egg, Beaten
1 cup Buttermilk

1
Begin by preheating your oil as you want to get it to around 350-375 degrees, on medium heat.
2
Take all of your ingredients and add them to a large mixing bowl.
3
Make sure you mix everything into a nice batter and that the flour and corn meal are fully incorporated.
4
Get a cup of water next to your mixing bowl and add two small spoons to the water.
5
Remove and take one spoonful of the thick batter, using the other spoon to make them into a nice football shape.
6
Carefully slide it into the hot oil, dip the spoons back in the water, and repeat.
7
The hushpuppies only take a few minutes to cook.
8
You should have a nice golden brown when they are ready.
9
Remove with a slotted spoon, and let any access oil drain on some paper towel.
10
Season immediately with salt.
11
Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
12
Now I know you should probably serve these with a nice fish dinner, or better yet a fried chicken dinner, but sometimes you cannot resist and must serve them as is.
13
These pork-filled hushpuppies will be a huge hit and a great surprise to those that are used to a simple cornmeal batter.

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.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
