HOMEMADE DEEP FRIED HUSH PUPPIES

Steps:

• Combine ingredientsPlace all ingredients in a medium bowl and stir by hand until well combined. Refrigerate mixture for at least 1 hour.
• Heat deep fryerHeat peanut oil to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. I highly recommend using a temperature controlled deep fryer opposed to a deep pot on the stove.I use the Farberware 4L Double Deep Fryer. Although it is exclusively available at Walmart this one here is very similar to the one I use.Tip: When taking the hot food out of the oil you'll want to be prepared. So, line a baking sheet with paper towels and then place a baking rack on top of that as set aside until ready to use.
• Scoop batterScoop up the batter with a cookie scoop and gently place the batter into the hot oil. I usually cook 5 to 7 at a time. Careful not overcrowd the batter in the fryer or you could have a mess on your hands.
• CookAllow the batter to cook in the hot oil for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown. This recipe will make around 20 - 25 hush puppies.Keep an eye on those pups. If you're lucky you might even catch them doing somersaults in the hot oil. LOLTip: It's okay to flip them a few times with the spider strainer while frying, just be careful.
• Remove From OilCarefully remove hush puppies from oil with the spider strainer.Scoop out hush puppies and place them on the baking rack.Complete above steps until all batter is fried.
• Allow to cool for a few minutes. Serve as a side to fish and chips or whatever your little heart desires but most of all enjoy!

HUSH-PUPPY FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix the flour and cornmeal together in a paper sack. Place each piece of chicken in the sack and shake thoroughly to coat completely.
• Mix the salt, pepper and buttermilk together. Place the hush-puppy mix in another paper sack. Dip each piece of chicken in the seasoned buttermilk and then drop it into the hush-puppy mix and shake to coat thoroughly.
• Heat vegetable oil to 350*F, and drop each piece of cooked chicken into it. Fry until a rich golden brown. Place in a flat baking dish and place in a 325* oven for an additional 30 minutes. Serve at once, piping hot.
• NOTE: If you cannot obtain hush-puppy prepared mix in your store, substitute the following: 2 cups white corn meal, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 4 tablespoons butter. Work all together until it is a fine consistency and then use as the breading mixture as specified in the above recipe. Hush-Puppy prepared mix is a timesaving shortcut.
