Best recipe for hush puppies?!
Answers:
Ingredients:
2 cups yellow corn meal
1 cup plain flour (flour is what gave it the
lighter taste and you can experiment with the
amount you use if you want)
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk (you can also use plain milk in
a pinch, but nothing compares to buttermilk)
3/4 teaspoon seasoned salt!. I use Lowreys but just
about any brand will work as you are just looking
for something to spice things up a little
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper blend (again, the idea
is to spice things up a little)!.
1 teaspoon baking powder
2/3 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 cup bacon grease!. This is another big key to
the flavor!. In a pinch you can use other types
of cooking oil, but bacon is my favorite!.
You also need some type of cooking oil to deep fry
these in!. I usually use Crisco oil although peanut oil
and some of the lower fat oils work well too!.
Mix all of the dry ingredients in a bowl!. Add your
eggs, oil, and buttermilk!. Stir it all up until
the flavors are thoroughly blended!.
Turn your cooker on medium-high heat!. When it's
hot you can drop your hush puppies in using a
table spoon!. Allow them to brown on all sides!.
They should begin floating when done, but if they
don't, don't overcook them!.
Serve as a side dish with just about any meal!. I
loved eating them with fried catfish or fresh
chopped or pulled pork barbecue!. Most of the local
resturants added them as a standard feature when you
bought plate meals!.
Some restaurants have also added yellow corn to their hush puppies and a touch of sugar!. If you want to give this a try,
precook the corn, but don't overcook it!. Use 3/4 cups
in the recipe above!. On top of that add 2 table-spoons
of white sugar!.
