Heavenly Hush Puppies Recipes

JALAPENO HUSHPUPPIES

Steps:

• Heat the oil to 350 degrees F. in a deep-fryer or Dutch oven.
• In a 1-quart mixing bowl, stir the cornmeal, flour, onion, jalapeno, corn, and eggs, until blended. Allow to stand 5 minutes.
• Drop the batter by teaspoonfuls into the hot oil. Don't overcrowd; leave room for the hushpuppies to be turned. Cook the hushpuppies until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Keep the cooked hushpuppies warm in an oven while cooking the remaining batter. Lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste, and transfer them to a serving dish. Serve with Paula Deen's Sweet and Spicy Chili Sauce, if desired.

HUSH PUPPIES

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together just until they are wet.
• Refrigerate 30 minutes to 5 hours.
• To cook, heat oil to about 350-375 degrees.
• Dip a small spoon in cold water, then get a spoonful of batter, using the side of the bowl to"break-off" the spoonful of batter from the bowl.
• Immediately submerge spoon in the hot oil for a few seconds until the Hush Puppy releases from the spoon.
• Repeat this process with each Hush Puppy, until you have 6 or 7 in the hot oil.
• Do not crowd the"puppies", as you do not want to lower the temperature of the hot oil.
• Getting the spoon wet between puppies is important, as it helps keep the batter from sticking to the spoon.
• If your oil is the correct temperature, the hush puppies should be golden on the outside and cooked on the inside.
• When golden on one side, if they automatically turn themselves over, you're cooking like a Pro.
• If they don't give them a little nudge to make them turn over.
• Possible Problems: If oil is too hot, or"raw puppies are too large", they will get too browned on the outside and be gummy or runny on the inside.
• If oil is not hot enough, the puppies will be greasy.
• I usually put 1 or 2 spoonsful of batter in the hot oil to test it before making a whole batch of these tasty little Southern treats.
• Adjust oil temperature as needed.
• Although not quite as good as when freshly cooked, I often freeze leftover hush puppies and reheat them in a toaster oven until warm.
• They are still mighty good.

HEAVENLY HUSH PUPPIES

Steps:

• 1. Gather and prep ingredients.
• 2. Into a large dutch oven or stock pot, pour enough oil to fill about 1/3 of the way up to the top (do not overfill; you should have 3 to 4 inches of oil.) Position candy thermometer in oil. Place pot of oil over medium/medium high heat. Oil should be 350` to 375` during entire frying time, so keep a close eye on it. See NOTE.
• 3. In a medium size bowl, mix together milk and egg; add muffin mix, flour, cajun seasoning and onions; mix to combine, just until dry ingredients are moistened.
• 4. Drop batter, by rounded soup spoonfuls, into hot oil. Do not overcrowd; fry in batches of 6 or 7 at a time, keeping a close eye on the oil temperature. As hush puppies brown, some may turn themselves over; if not use a slotted spoon or spider to flip them over. Hush puppies are done when they are a deep golden brown, about 3 minutes (or so) total frying time.
• 5. Use slotted spoon or spider to remove hush puppies to paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in plastic bag or covered container.
• 6. *NOTE: If you have a deep fryer, by all means, use it.
