===Hushpuppies===
{{Main|Hushpuppy}}A thicker buttermilk-based batter that is deep-fried rather than pan-fried forms the [[hushpuppy]], a common accompaniment to fried [[Fish as food|fish]] and other [[seafood]] in the South. Hushpuppy recipes vary from state to state, some including onion seasoning, chopped onions, [[beer]], or [[jalapeño]]s. Fried properly, the hushpuppy will be moist and yellow or white on the inside, while crunchy and light to medium-dark golden brown on the outside. Although Native people ushered corn and cornmeal into African people's diets, African cooks are generally credited with introducing the frying of foods in fats. The combination of Native cornmeal and the African technique of frying, therefore, led to the creation of hushpuppies.<ref name="Wallach2015"/>
