Mississippi Catfish and Hushpuppies Recipe courtesy Lynn Hewlett
Hushpuppies:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups yellow cornmeal
1 egg
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
4 green onions, chopped (stem and all)
Buttermilk
Peanut oil
Catfish:
2 cups yellow corn meal
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons coarse black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
Granulated garlic and salt
2 cups whole milk
Dash hot pepper sauce
4 Mississippi pond raised catfish fillets
Peanut oil
Hushpuppies: Mix first 6 ingredients in mixing bowl. Add buttermilk as needed until batter reaches a thick, mashed potato-like consistency. Refrigerate for 45 minutes to 1 hour before using. Heat peanut oil to 325 degrees F. Using 2 teaspoons to drop the batter, dip the first teaspoon into water and then fill with hushpuppy batter. Use the other teaspoon to rake the batter into the oil. Cook for approximately 4 minutes until golden brown. The hushpuppies should roll over in the oil by themselves. If they do not, you may have to turn them.
For the Catfish: Put first 6 ingredients into a large brown paper bag. Roll down the top and shake until well-mixed. Cut catfish in half lengthwise. Pat dry with paper towel. Mix milk and hot sauce. Dip catfish in milk bath, put in paper bag with breading and shake until covered. Place catfish into pot with about 4 inches of peanut oil heated to about 325 to 350 degrees F. Cook until brown and firm, about 6 to 7 minutes.

This is a standard recipe for hushpuppies. You can also add cayenne to them if you like spicy food...

1/2 cup self-rising flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 small onion, chopped

1 egg, lightly beaten
Using a deep pot, preheat oil for frying to 350 degrees 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, 1 teaspoon at a time, into the oil. Dip the spoon in a glass of water after each hushpuppy is dropped in the oil. Fry until golden brown, turning the hushpuppies during the cooking process.

Mix some flour with the cornmeal. Make sure to season it (salt ,pepper, cayenne, it's very hot so be careful,paprika) If you wash and season the catfish (garlic powder, onion powder,salt) then let it marinate in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Wonderful!
