This specific hush puppies recipe can make about two dozen. You can easily double the recipe if you need to make a bunch for a big meal or family gathering.
It's stated that hush puppies, a fried cornmeal batter, got their name from fishermen who fried cornmeal and fed them to their canines to be able to "hush the puppies" during fish fries. It is also said that the fishermen would say, "hush puppy!" as they tossed their dogs the little treats.
They are soft, crispy and positively addictive. To this day, I haven't seen someone eat only one hush puppy. They are really great side-by-side deep-fried catfish, fried poultry, or even pulled bar-b-que pork. Sometimes, I will even eat some with hamburgers or hot dogs in the place of standard and boring potato chips.
Ingredients:
1 cup of cornmeal
1 cup flour
one tsp salt
one tbs sugar
1 tsp of baking powder
dash of red pepper or 1/4 tsp of Tabasco (if Tabasco, add to the wet materials in place of the dry ingredients)
3/4 cup of milk
1 egg
a couple of tablespoons finely cut onion
Directions for Cooking Up:
Mix all dry substances into a bowl and set aside. In a different bowl, beat the egg and next add the milk. Insert the wet materials into the dry ingredients and mix together right until only little lumps occur. Please don't over blend; else the mix could end up being dense and sticky. Add the onion and stir up until the time barely mixed. Drop spoonfuls in very hot oil (375 F) and fry until finally browned. Sprinkle with salt.
Hush puppies do not keep well, so make sure they are eaten pretty quickly. Do not try to store them.
