Air-Fryer Hush Puppies
Cornmeal hush puppies with crisp nubbly edges and a tender middle, made without a pot of oil.
This is a volume-friendly air-fryer article in the best sense: familiar food, a real photo, and a slightly different lane from the version already in the archive. Cornmeal hush puppies with crisp nubbly edges and a tender middle, made without a pot of oil.
The basket does the useful work here — concentrated heat, browned edges, and less oil than the stovetop version. Keep the pieces even, shake once or twice, and let the last two minutes decide the colour.
