Hushpuppies

"I looked around and couldn't find many hushpuppy recipes. This is a combo I came up with looking at various recipes and adding my own twist. Mine definitely didn't come out round like I am used to seeing, but they were delicious just the same! Enjoy."

directions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, onion,egg, salt, baking soda, and milk or buttermilk. Mix until batter is smooth and free of any lumps. Batter should be stiff (if batter is too dry, add milk; if batter is too thin, add cornmeal).
  • In a cast-iron skillet (or a large heavy fry pan) or deep fryer over medium-high heat, heat vegetable oil to 350°F or until a small amount of batter dropped into the hot oil sizzles and floats. Do not let the oil get too hot or the center of the hushpuppies will not cook thoroughly.
  • Using two spoons, push a small amount of batter into hot oil. After about 10 seconds, hushpuppies will float to the top and begin to brown. Fry for approximately 5 minutes or until golden brown, turning to brown all sides.
  • Remove from oil and place hushpuppies on paper towels; continue cooking the remaining batter (fry in small batches, adding 4 to 6 hushpuppies to the oil at a time). NOTE: They can be held in a 200° F oven until serving time. Serve hot.
  • Makes 2 dozen hushpuppies.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a culinary school graduate now practicing in my home kitchen. I currently teach special education. I have two beautiful girls, 18 and 10, who both drive me nuts in their own special ways ;). I LOVE to cook, but I HATE to clean up. I enjoy trying new foods. I may need to seek help for my recipe addiction. I have more recipes than I could ever use, but you never know when some obscure recipe might come in handy!
