Easy Air Fryer Hush Puppies

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Get ready to enjoy these delicious Air Fryer Hush Puppies with dinner tonight!

We had the best dinner recently with Air Fryer Hush Puppies and Air Fryer Catfish.  I’ll be sharing the Air Fryer Catfish next week, stay tuned for that.  First though, let’s talk about Hush Puppies.

Easy Air Fryer Hush Puppies

First, have you ever wondered why hush puppies are called hush puppies?

I just read about it the other day that they were actually called that because this was a food fed to dogs to ‘hush the puppies’.  Funny, isn’t it?  I was expecting some crazy explanation, but that is just too funny that the name stuck!  Find out even more history on hush puppies, here.

Now, back to these Air Fryer Hush Puppies, I made these Gluten Free Air Fryer Hush Puppies, but you can do whichever that you prefer.

I’ve also convinced my entire family to purchase an air fryer, have you bought one yet?  If not, be sure to check out this post on choosing the right air fryer.

Shortly after we got our Air Fryer, my husband kept asking me to make catfish in it.  I thought that was the perfect idea too, but what is the best thing to go with catfish?  Air Fryer Hush Puppies!

My family decided this was the best dinner EVER!  It was pouring down rain this particular day and the perfect day to get in the kitchen and just test out some new recipes.  I’m thankful they quickly turned into favorites.

My son keeps a mental list of his favorite foods, he’s added these and catfish to it.  That says a lot for him too because he’s quite picky.

If you ask my daughter what’s on her list….

She responds with, “cookies, cake, ice cream, candy.”  She thinks highly of her health, can you tell?

She is also OBSESSED with watching cooking and baking shows, but can I tell you it’s incredibly hard to find appropriate shows for kids.  Who would have thought that cooking shows could be so inappropriate?

We’ve had quite a time trying to find some that are appropriate for her, that don’t suddenly have language she doesn’t need to hear yet.  Thankfully, shows like the Pioneer Woman are pretty good too for her.  Now, I need Ree to come to Netflix…please.

Now, back to these Air Fryer Hush Puppies.

What do you need to make Air Fryer Hush Puppies?

  • Cornmeal
  • Flour or Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
  • Baking Powder
  • Sugar
  • Salt
  • Egg
  • Milk
  • Onion

Just a few things are needed, most of which you will already have on hand.

What if I’m out of Onion?

Quick tip, onion powder will work too.  If you use it though, then you won’t have those chunks of onion, but the taste is similar!

    I am confused…. “Cook Time: 10 Minutes”, yet the directions in step #7 are to cook for 10 minutes and then in step #8 are to cook an additional 10 minutes…. which makes cook time 20 minutes. Please advise

      I apologize, it should be 20 minutes that was an error due to transferring over a recipe card. I do them for 10 minutes on each side. I’ve updated the recipe too. Thank you for asking.

    I followed the recipe exactly but they wouldn’t form balls and they came out burnt and flat as a pancake. What am I doing wrong?

      Did it appear they had too much liquid? We make these often without any issues. So I’m not entirely sure. They should be like a bread batter almost and easy to shape.

          If you try them again, I would try adding more flour to it if it looks like it’s runny. I actually added more flour within this recipe than a standard hush puppies recipe, so I’m not sure why it would come out runny. Another thing to keep in mind too is that the ingredients need to be added in order, whisking in the milk and egg last. You may have done that as well but just another thought.

    I thought these were “ok” but for the hassle I’d just make cornbread.
