HOMEMADE DEEP FRIED HUSH PUPPIES
Steps:
- Combine ingredientsPlace all ingredients in a medium bowl and stir by hand until well combined. Refrigerate mixture for at least 1 hour.
- Heat deep fryerHeat peanut oil to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. I highly recommend using a temperature controlled deep fryer opposed to a deep pot on the stove.I use the Farberware 4L Double Deep Fryer. Although it is exclusively available at Walmart this one here is very similar to the one I use.Tip: When taking the hot food out of the oil you'll want to be prepared. So, line a baking sheet with paper towels and then place a baking rack on top of that as set aside until ready to use.
- Scoop batterScoop up the batter with a cookie scoop and gently place the batter into the hot oil. I usually cook 5 to 7 at a time. Careful not overcrowd the batter in the fryer or you could have a mess on your hands.
- CookAllow the batter to cook in the hot oil for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown. This recipe will make around 20 - 25 hush puppies.Keep an eye on those pups. If you're lucky you might even catch them doing somersaults in the hot oil. LOLTip: It's okay to flip them a few times with the spider strainer while frying, just be careful.
- Remove From OilCarefully remove hush puppies from oil with the spider strainer.Scoop out hush puppies and place them on the baking rack.Complete above steps until all batter is fried.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes. Serve as a side to fish and chips or whatever your little heart desires but most of all enjoy!
