Steps:
- Preheat the fryer to 365 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, hot sauce, onions, and jalapenos, together. Stir in the eggs and milk. Mix until fully incorporated. Fry 1 tablespoon of the batter at a time. Fry the hushpuppies for 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown. Stirring constantly will ensure over-all browning. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season with Essence.
- Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
Tips:
- Select the right jalapeños: Choose medium-sized jalapeños that are firm and have a deep green color. Avoid jalapeños that are too large, as they may be more bitter and have a thicker skin.
- Wear gloves when handling jalapeños: Jalapeños contain capsaicin, which can irritate your skin. Wear gloves when slicing, dicing, or seeding the jalapeños to protect your hands.
- Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeños: This will help to reduce the spiciness of the hush puppies. If you want a spicier hush puppy, leave some of the seeds and ribs in.
- Use a combination of cornmeal and all-purpose flour: This will give the hush puppies a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
- Let the batter rest for at least 10 minutes before frying: This will allow the cornmeal to absorb the liquid and create a thicker batter.
- Fry the hush puppies in hot oil: This will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the hush puppies from becoming greasy.
- Serve the hush puppies hot: Hush puppies are best served hot, right out of the fryer. They can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
Conclusion:
Jalapeño hush puppies are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. With their crispy exterior and tender interior, they are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
