ALMOST-FAMOUS HUSHPUPPIES
Ironically, one of the most popular dishes at the seafood chain Long John Silver's is a landlubber one: hushpuppies. The deep-fried cornmeal snacks gained a cult following soon after they debuted in 1977, and although two pups still come with every entrée, many diners end up ordering more on the side to get their fill. The recipe is a secret, but Food Network Kitchens created a perfect copy so you can make them at home. Beware: This recipe makes 30. Try not to eat them all at once.

Steps:
- Combine the onion, flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, sugar and onion powder in a bowl. Whisk the egg and milk in another bowl. Whisk the egg mixture into the flour mixture until smooth. Cover and chill 30 minutes.
- Heat 2 inches vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Working in batches, carefully drop heaping tablespoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Fry, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 8 minutes per batch (return the oil to 350 degrees F between batches). Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet using a slotted spoon.

Steps:
- Whisk together the eggs, sugar, and salt, to taste, in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornmeal and flour. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until incorporated and the batter is thick.
- In a heavy-bottomed pot, (Dutch oven) heat enough peanut oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 360 degrees F.
- Working in batches, drop the batter, 1 tablespoon (I like to use a small ice cream scoop) at a time, into the oil, being careful to not overcrowd the pot. Fry until deep golden on all sides, turning in the oil for even cooking, about 5 minutes. Transfer the hushpuppies to a paper towel-lined dish and sprinkle with salt while hot. Enjoy!

Tips:

- Drain the hushpuppies on paper towels before serving. This will help remove excess oil.
