Southern Cornmeal Hush Puppies Recipes

SOUTHERN CORNMEAL HUSHPUPPIES

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix with spoon. The batter should be just wet enough that you can shape it into balls about the size of a walnut with your hands and it sticks together.
• Have oil hot in a skillet and drop hushpuppies into oil. Cook about 3 to 4 minutes browning on all sides. Remove and drain on paper towels.

HUSH PUPPIES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, pepper, salt, sugar, baking soda and cayenne. In another bowl, gently mix the buttermilk, scallions and eggs.
• Whisk the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined, then rest the batter for 10 minutes.
• In a 6-quart stockpot, pour enough oil to fill the pan about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 350 to 360 degrees F. Drop small scoops or rounded tablespoons of the batter into the oil in batches of eight. As soon as the hush puppies start to float, use tongs to rotate and cook until both sides are crisp and light golden brown, 60 to 90 seconds. It helps to put a pasta strainer on top of the hush puppies at this point to keep them submerged. Use a slotted spoon to remove the hush puppies, and transfer to a clean brown paper bag to remove excess grease. Repeat for the remaining batter, about 24 hush puppies total.
• Serve the hush puppies steaming hot.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a heavy skillet (about 2- 2 1/2 inches of oil) until hot.

• Make sure that your dry ingredients are all moist.
• Using a tablespoon, drop balls of batter into the hot oil, about 2 inches long by 1 inch thick.
• NOTE: I usually only cook about 4 or 5 at a time.
• These should float in the hot oil, but not be covered by it.
• You will need to turn these as they cook.
• Fry until they are a golden brown and then drain them on paper towels.
• Serve with fish- of course!
