4 green onions, finely chopped, plus extra to serve
100 gr grated broccoli
1 large egg
1 cup buttermilk
1 Litre vegetable oil, for frying (or light olive oil)
Can of spray oil
Aioli and extra chopped spring onions, to serve
Method
In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, broccoli, corn and green onion.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg with the buttermilk.
Mix the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients. The dough should be thick enough to drop from a spoon slowly but easily.
In a deep, 28cm frypan, heat oil for deep-frying. The hot oil should be about 3 inches deep, or deep enough for the hush puppies to float.
Carefully drop the dough by heaped desert spoonfuls into the hot oil and fry, turning, until golden brown.
Remove the hush puppies to paper towels to drain and keep warm while frying the rest.
Serve with a small pot of aioli and scattered with extra green onions.
TIPS
To get the batter to drop from the spoon more easily, lightly coat it with a spray cooking oil. Test the oil with a little bit of the dough to see if hot enough
Perfect to serve with grilled one-minute steak
