If you’ve been craving this Southern classic, you’re in luck—these extra-crispy gluten-free hush puppies deliver the same crunchy exterior and tender, fluffy interior you remember. A straightforward mix of gluten-free cornmeal, all-purpose gluten-free flour, and a pantry spice blend combines with buttermilk and an egg to create fritters with a perfectly shattering crust and light crumb. The batter rests briefly so the gluten-free starches hydrate, and a simple scooping method makes frying quick and consistent. Follow the method below for hush puppies that even non–gluten-free eaters will love.
