HUSHPUPPIES

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield about 30 hushpuppies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup stone-ground yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt plus to taste
Pinch of cayenne
1 1/4 cup butter milk
1 large egg, beaten
2 scallions, finely chopped
Vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Using a fine-meshed sieve over a large bowl, sift together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cayenne. Using a rubber spatula, stir in the buttermilk, egg, and scallions, until a batter is formed. (Take care not to over-mix the batter or the hushpuppies will be dense.)
  • Pour the oil for frying into a large heavy-bottomed pot to a depth of 2 inches. Place over medium heat and heat to 375 degrees F. Working in small batches, using a greased teaspoon, drop spoonfuls of batter into the oil, turning once, frying until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per batch. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the hushpuppies to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. Serve immediately.
  • Cook's Note: Using a greased spoon (vegetable oil spray works well) helps to release the batter from the spoon. Additionally, if you drop the batter off of the tip of the spoon it will form ball shapes; if dropped off the side it will form oblong shapes.

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 cold beer: Cold beer helps to create a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the hushpuppies tough.
  • Fry the hushpuppies in hot oil: The oil should be at least 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Frying too many hushpuppies at once will lower the temperature of the oil and make them greasy.
  • Serve the hushpuppies hot: Hushpuppies are best served hot and fresh out of the fryer.

Conclusion:

Paula Deen's hushpuppies are a delicious and easy-to-make Southern classic. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect hushpuppies that are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Serve them with your favorite seafood dish or as a snack, and enjoy!
