Categories     Appetizer     Bread

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup cornmeal
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup diced onion
1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped jalapeno peppers ((as desired))
canola or vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Whisk together the eggs and buttermilk, in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, then add the onion and jalapenos and stir until incorporated and the batter is thick.
  • In a heavy-bottomed pot (Dutch oven) or deep fryer, heat enough oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 360 degrees F.
  • Working in batches, drop the batter, 1 tablespoon (I use a cookie dough 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 hush puppies to a paper towel-lined dish and sprinkle with salt (if desired) while hot.

QUICK AND EASY HUSH PUPPIES



Quick and Easy Hush Puppies image

I don't normally like hush puppies. They are generally too dry, too dense, and too bland for my taste. After tasting some in a restaurant that I actually liked, I decided to come up with a recipe of my own. This one deliberately uses stuff right out of the pantry so that it can be whipped up quickly and served fast.

JAZZY HUSH PUPPIES RECIPE BY TASTY



Jazzy Hush Puppies Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: vegetable oil, all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, kosher salt, McCormick® Jazzy Spice Blend, unsalted butter, large egg, buttermilk, jalapeño, small yellow onion

Provided by Tasty

Yield 30 hush puppies

Number Of Ingredients 12

vegetable oil, for frying
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup cornmeal, fine-grind
2 ½ teaspoons sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons McCormick® Jazzy Spice Blend
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, (1/2 stick) cubed and chilled
1 large egg, beaten
1 cup buttermilk
1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
½ small yellow onion, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Fill a medium pot with 4 inches (10 cm) of oil and heat over medium heat to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and Jazzy spice blend.
  • Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, add the butter and work into the flour mixture until it resembles a coarse meal and the butter pieces are no larger than peas.
  • Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the egg and buttermilk. Working from the center outward, gradually mix into the dry ingredients until a smooth batter forms. Add the jalapeño and onion and mix gently just to incorporate. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Working in batches, use a 1-ounce (28 G) ice cream scoop or tablespoon to quickly but carefully scoop 8-10 balls of batter into the hot oil. Adjust the heat to maintain the oil temperature. Cook, turning the hush puppies frequently with a slotted spoon or spider, until golden brown and puffy, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a rack lined with paper towels to drain and repeat with the rest of the batter.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Select Fresh Jalapenos: Choose firm and plump jalapenos with deep green color and no blemishes. This will ensure the best flavor and heat level in your hush puppies.
  • Deseed and Mince Jalapenos: To control the spiciness, remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapenos before mincing. For a milder flavor, use fewer jalapenos or remove more of the seeds. Alternatively, use a food processor to mince the jalapenos with the seeds intact for a spicier result.
  • Use Buttermilk: Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor and helps the hush puppies rise during frying. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season the batter well with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will enhance the flavor of the hush puppies and make them more enjoyable.
  • Fry in Hot Oil: Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C) before frying the hush puppies. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming greasy.
  • Drain on Paper Towels: After frying, drain the hush puppies on paper towels to remove excess oil. This will help them stay crispy.

Conclusion:

These quick jalapeno hush puppies are a delicious and easy appetizer or side dish that will add a spicy kick to your next meal. With their crispy exterior, fluffy interior, and flavorful blend of jalapenos, cornmeal, and buttermilk, they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a fun and flavorful snack, give these jalapeno hush puppies a try - you won't be disappointed!
