This recipe has been submitted for play in ZWT9 - Cajun/Creole. This recipe is from cookbook Cajun Cooking by Better Homes and Gardens. It is said that early settlers hushed their barking dogs by tossing them these bready little morsels. I know I'd stop barking for a few of these....Yum!!

Yield 18 hush puppies

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 large egg, beaten
1/2 cup buttermilk or 1/2 cup sour milk
1/4 cup green onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon water
3/4 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
vegetable oil, for deep frying or vegetable shortening

Steps:

In a small mixing bowl stir the egg, buttermilk, green onions and water together.
In a medium bowl combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pepper.
Add the egg mixture to dry ingredients, stirring until just moistened.
In a heavy saucepan or deep fryer, heat abut 2 inches of oil or shortening to 375 degrees.
Drop batter by tablespoons into hot fat.
Fry a few at a time, for 2 minutes, turning once.
Drain on paper towels, keep warm in a 325 degree oven until they are all fried.

Tips:

Use cold liquids and ingredients to ensure the hush puppies are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
Make sure the batter is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If it's too thin, add more flour or cornmeal.
Fry the hush puppies in hot oil (350°F/175°C) until they are golden brown and cooked through. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Serve the hush puppies hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, remoulade, or ranch dressing.
