Ingredients
  • 2 large ears of corn, kernels cut off and ear discarded (about 2 cups)
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • 2½ tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1½ cups bread flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • ⅔ cup cornmeal
  • 1 tablespoon corn flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 medium scallion, finely chopped
  • 1½ tablespoons finely chopped parsley
  • 3 cups vegetable oil
  • Confectioners' sugar
Directions
  1. In a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat, bring the corn kernels, whole milk and butter to a boil.
  2. Whisk in the bread flour and, mixing constantly, add the eggs one at a time. Whisk in the cornmeal, corn flour, sugar and salt, then stir in the scallion and parsley.
  3. In a large saucepan set over medium-high heat, bring the oil to 360°. Use a tablespoon to measure out 1 tablespoon of the hush-puppies mixture; fry in batches, about 10 tablespoons at a time, until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Use a frying spider or slotted spoon to transfer to a paper-towel-lined rack. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve immediately.
