- Make hush puppies:
- Preheat oven to 200°F.
- Heat 2 inches oil to 375°F in a wide 5-quart heavy pot over medium heat. While oil heats, mince and mash garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt, then whisk together with eggs, buttermilk, and scallions in a bowl.
- Whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl, then stir in buttermilk mixture until just combined. Stir in crabmeat.
- Working in batches of 10, carefully drop tablespoons of batter into oil and fry, turning occasionally, until golden-brown, about 3 minutes per batch. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet and keep warm in oven. Return oil to 375°F between batches.

[email protected]These hush puppies were a disappointment. They were bland and didn't have much crab flavor.

[email protected]The hush puppies were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try using less oil next time.

[email protected]I had some trouble getting the hush puppies to brown evenly. I think I needed to cook them at a lower temperature for a longer period of time.

[email protected]I used canned crab meat in this recipe and it worked out great. I think fresh crab meat would be even better, but canned crab meat is a good substitute.
Smarz Prinz
[email protected]I added a bit of Old Bay seasoning to the batter and it gave the hush puppies a nice kick. I also served them with a remoulade sauce instead of tartar sauce.
