TRUE SOUTHERN HUSH PUPPIES



True Southern Hush Puppies image

I spent many a night at "Henry's Fish and Grill", one of the top restaurants in Mississippi, and had these wonderful hush puppies with fresh caught bass that we would catch and the chef so graciously prepared. It wasn't until my cousin married one of the chefs that I ever got the recipe. I never gave it out, but now they are sadly no longer there and I want to pass on this beautiful recipe. I hope you enjoy it--and Chef Henry, this is your recipe.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Whisk 3/4 cup cornmeal, 1/4 cup flour, 2 tablespoons sugar and 3/4 teaspoon each baking soda and salt in a bowl. Stir in 1 beaten egg, 1/2 cup each buttermilk and corn kernels, 1 minced jalapeno, 4 minced scallions, and pepper to taste. Deep-fry spoonfuls of the batter in 350 degrees F vegetable oil until golden, 2 to 3 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better your hush puppies will taste.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the hush puppies tough.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes before frying. This will help the flour to absorb the liquid and make the hush puppies more tender.
  • Fry the hush puppies in hot oil. The oil should be at least 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. Frying too many hush puppies at once will cause the oil temperature to drop and the hush puppies will not cook evenly.
  • Drain the hush puppies on paper towels before serving. This will help to remove excess oil.
  • Serve the hush puppies hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Hush puppies are a delicious and easy-to-make Southern side dish. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of hush puppies that are sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give hush puppies a try. You won't be disappointed!
