Time 30m

Yield 24 hushpuppies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup sour cream
1/3 cup honey mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Canola or vegetable oil, for frying
1 (8.5-ounce) box corn bread or muffin mix (recommended: Jiffy)
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup frozen chopped onions, thawed and drained
1 egg
1/2 cup sweet potato puree
1/4 cup cooked crumbled bacon (about 4 strips)

Steps:

  • For the dip: Combine the sour cream, honey mustard and lemon juice in a bowl and mix until well blended.
  • For the hushpuppies: Fill a medium heavy-bottomed pot with enough oil to come 1/3 of the way up the sides. Place over medium heat.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the corn bread mix, cornmeal, onions, eggs, sweet potato puree and bacon until well combined. When the oil reaches 350 degrees F, carefully drop the batter by the heaping tablespoonful into the oil using 2 spoons or a small ice cream scoop. Fry in batches until golden brown and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on a tray lined with paper towels. Serve immediately with creamy honey mustard dip on the side.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings, approximately 12

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup sugar
Kosher salt
1 cup cornmeal
3/4 cup self-rising flour
Peanut oil, for frying

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!

GRANDMA'S HUSH PUPPIES



Grandma's Hush Puppies image

My grandparent's used to have a Fish Fry at their house about once a month. Grandma always put the hush puppy batter together while grandpa sat on the back porch and fried them with the fish in his big frying cooker. You just can't have a Fish Fry without these wonderful hush puppies. This recipe makes about 15-20 hush puppies.

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1 egg (beaten)
1 (16 ounce) can creamed corn
1 onion (small diced up)

Steps:

  • Pour vegetable oil into the fryer of your choice. Allow it to be getting hot while mixing.
  • Mix the first five ingredients together in a large bowl.
  • Add the last four ingredients and mix well.
  • If the batter isn't the consistency of pancake batter, add a little more flour to thicken or a little more milk for thinning.
  • Take a metal spoon and dip into the hot grease. This allows the batter to just slide off into the grease after putting on spoon.
  • Now, take about 1 tbs. size spoonfuls and place into grease.
  • Allow to cook for about 5 minute or until golden brown and turn.
  • Let cook on other side for about 3 more minute.
  • Remove from grease and drain on paper towel lined plate.
  • Enjoy with fried fish and cole slaw.
