BEST HUSH PUPPIES

Some years ago, I was a cook on a large cattle ranch. One day, I thought back to the hush puppies I'd had as a child on a southern trip, and I ended up creating my own version of them. They go well as part of an old-fashioned fried chicken dinner with mashed potatoes and gravy, buttermilk biscuits, corn on the cob and watermelon pickles! -Karyl Goodhart, Geraldine, Montana

SWEET ONION AND CATFISH HUSH PUPPIES WITH COMEBACK SAUCE



Sweet Onion and Catfish Hush Puppies with Comeback Sauce image

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h

Yield 16 hush puppies

Number Of Ingredients 31

One 16-ounce jar mayonnaise
1/4 cup sambal chile sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 tablespoon Louisiana-style hot sauce
1/2 tablespoon smoked paprika
1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon stone-ground mustard
1 teaspoon salt, or more as needed
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, or more as needed
1 pound unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/3 cup sorghum molasses
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
3 ounces catfish fillet, cut into small bits (roughly 1/4-inch dice)
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon sugar
2 cups high-quality fine white cornmeal
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for sprinkling
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup full-fat buttermilk
1 large egg
1/2 small sweet onion, diced small (1/4 inch)
1 quart vegetable oil
Handful fresh chives, cut into small rings

Steps:

  • For the comeback sauce: Combine mayonnaise, sambal, ketchup, lemon juice, hot sauce, smoked paprika, Worcestershire, garlic powder, mustard, salt and pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and everything is well incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • For the whipped sorghum butter: Add the butter, molasses and salt to a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, or to a medium bowl if you're using a hand mixer or whisk. Mix on medium speed until well-combined and the butter is lightened and fluffy.
  • For the catfish: Combine the catfish with salt and sugar in a bowl. Refrigerate.
  • For the hush puppies: Combine cornmeal with sugar, salt, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper and cayenne in a medium bowl. Whisk thoroughly to combine these dry ingredients. Whisk together the buttermilk and egg in a separate bowl until there are no specks of egg and it becomes a smooth and homogenous mixture.
  • Retrieve the quick-cured catfish from the fridge, and add the catfish and diced onion to the dry ingredient mixture. Quickly stir together to coat the onion and catfish bits with cornmeal and spices. Add the buttermilk and egg and mix quickly with a spatula or wooden spoon until everything is well combined and the batter stiffens up pretty quickly as the cornmeal soaks up the buttermilk. Cover your batter and refrigerate for a few minutes while you prepare your pot for frying.
  • Add vegetable oil to a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven no larger than 8 inches across-it's necessary for deep frying to have at least 2 inches of oil. Heat the oil over medium heat, bringing it up to 350 degrees F, using a thermometer to check the temperature. (If you don't have a thermometer, you can tell that the oil is ready when you add a small pinch of flour and it immediately sizzles and fries. You can fry without a thermometer if you're feeling bold, but just be careful that your oil doesn't get too hot or cold-you could either burn your hush puppies or end up with greasy ones-and no one wants that!)
  • Once the oil is up to 350 degrees F, pull your batter from the fridge and begin to scoop it into the hot oil. We like to use a 3/4-ounce cookie scoop, but you could also use two spoons to scoop and drop roughly tablespoon-sized dollops into the hot oil. Fry as many hush puppies as comfortably fit into the pot at once-they should definitely have some room to expand and get crispy. It's okay to fry in several batches.
  • Fry the hush puppies for 2 minutes, then turn them over and fry until golden brown and fluffy on the inside, another 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon or spider, moving them to a plate or tray lined with paper towels to help drain any excess oil. Sprinkle the hush puppies with a little salt while they're still hot. Repeat this process until all your hush puppies are cooked and seasoned.
  • Pile the hushpuppies into a dish for serving and garnish with a nice sprinkle of the chives. Serve them nice and hot with 1 cup comeback sauce and 1/4 cup whipped sorghum butter, or your favorite sauces.

CATFISH PARLOUR HUSH PUPPIES



Catfish Parlour Hush Puppies image

In Austin, Texas, Catfish Parlour is the place for all-you-can-eat fried catfish. But before you get to the fish, you recieve a bowl of freshly fried hush puppies on your table with two dipping sauces: tartar sauce, and jalapeno tartar sauce. I can usually eat a bowl all by myself, and love both the regular and jalapeno tartar sauce. Recipe posted by request in the Austin American-Statesman a million years ago. The recipe is cut down from the restaurant proportion. The recipe makes a large number determined by how big the little puppies are rolled out. Instead of being round, Catfish Parlour's hush puppies are rolled out like cigarettes in little tubes.

Provided by Colean

Categories     Breads

Time 1h7m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 gallon water
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup salt
2 tablespoons granulated garlic
3 tablespoons granulated onion
4 lbs yellow cornmeal
oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Place one gallon of water in a large pot.
  • Add the sugar,slat, garlic and onion.
  • Bring to a rolling boil.
  • Turn the flame off and stir in the corn meal. The mush will be very stiff, so stiff that it is difficult to stir.
  • When mixed, scrape the mush out in a dishpan, flatten out on top and allow to cool.
  • Later, if a skin has formed on top, peel it off and discard it.
  • Knead the mush until pliable and easy to work with.
  • Pinch off whatever size pieces you want the hugh puppies to be and form them by hand just as you would do with modeling clay. Make each hush puppy out of a rope or tube you've rolled between your palms. I like mine the length of about 4 inches, and the diameter of a kindergartner's chunky pencil.
  • Deep fry at 350 degrees until they are hard on the outside.
  • Do not put too many in the fryer at once because the oil will get too cool.
  • Prep time includes the time for the mush to cool.

DENISE'S LOUISIANA HUSH PUPPIES & FRIED CATFISH



Denise's Louisiana Hush Puppies & Fried Catfish image

These hush puppies have a cake like consistency (not your little ball of dry cornmeal). This is my base recipe, but it can be altered to your own taste, such as less sugar and more jalapeño. The catfish recipe is my husband's, and is more of an ingredient than a recipe, but this is our most requested meal when we're having friends over, so I thought I'd add it. I usually also serve with french fries, onion rings and fried mushrooms. Not the most healthy meal in the world...but oh, so good.

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.

TRUE SOUTHERN HUSH PUPPIES

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.

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.

Categories     Healthy

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.

  • Let cook on other side for about 3 more minute.
