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.

SOUTHERN CORNMEAL HUSH PUPPIES

Steps:

• 1. Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl. In a separate bowl, beat egg well and then add milk. Add onions and red pepper. Mix well.
• 2. Drop by spoonfuls into hot oil (375 degrees) and fry until brown. Drain well on paper towels.

HUSHPUPPIES

Steps:

• Using a fine-meshed sieve over a large bowl, sift together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cayenne. Using a rubber spatula, stir in the buttermilk, egg, and scallions, until a batter is formed. (Take care not to over-mix the batter or the hushpuppies will be dense.)
• Pour the oil for frying into a large heavy-bottomed pot to a depth of 2 inches. Place over medium heat and heat to 375 degrees F. Working in small batches, using a greased teaspoon, drop spoonfuls of batter into the oil, turning once, frying until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per batch. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the hushpuppies to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. Serve immediately.
• Cook's Note: Using a greased spoon (vegetable oil spray works well) helps to release the batter from the spoon. Additionally, if you drop the batter off of the tip of the spoon it will form ball shapes; if dropped off the side it will form oblong shapes.

HUSHPUPPIES

Steps:

• Using a large skillet, preheat oil for frying to 350 °F.
• Using a mixing bowl, stir together the cornmeal, flour, baking soda and salt. Stir in the onion. In a small bowl, stir together the buttermilk and egg. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until blended. Drop the batter one teaspoon at a time into the oil. Dip the spoon in a glass of water after each hush puppy is dropped in the oil. Fry until golden brown, turning the hush puppies during the cooking process. Makes about 3 dozen hush puppies.

MAMA'S CORNMEAL HUSHPUPPIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the cornmeal, onions, jalapeno and a pinch of salt. Add enough of the buttermilk to make a stiff batter. You may not need the whole 2 cups.
• Heat the peanut oil in a deep fryer or a large heavy bottomed pot to 250 degrees F.
• Drop the batter into the hot oil by teaspoonfuls. The hushpuppies will turn over in the oil as they cook. They are done when they are brown all over, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels and season with salt. Keep the hushpuppies warm while you fry the remaining batter. Serve hot.
