Hushpuppies are the best friends catfish ever had. These pieces of fried cornbread can be doctored up to include peppers, green onions or your favorite veggies. If you put pieces of fish, bacon, shrimp or even conch in them, they are called "Fritters" and are fantasitic!
Ingredients
- 1½ cups corn meal shopping list
- ½ cup flour shopping list
- 1 Tbsp sugar shopping list
- 2 tsp baking soda shopping list
- 2 tsp salt shopping list
- 1 Tbsp onion, finely minced shopping list
- 1 egg shopping list
- 1 cup buttermilk shopping list
- 1 Tbsp bacon drippings shopping list
- 4 Tbsp ice water shopping list
How to make it
- Sift together corn meal, flour, sugar, soda and salt.
- Place onion in a small bowl. Add egg, buttermilk and bacon drippings and beat until frothy.
- Pour all at once into the corn meal mixture and stir lightly to mix.
- Add ice water 1 Tbsp at a time and mix until the dough will drop from the spoon but is not “runny.”
- Drop by tablespoonfuls into hot oil (about 350 to 360°) in deep fat fryer for about 2 minutes or until evenly browned, turning to keep all sides evenly browned.
- Note: If you have never cooked hushpuppies before, remember to turn them often, even in a deep fryer. If allowed to brown on bottom first, the hushpuppies will become “bottom heavy” and will not easily turn, resulting undercooking on the top.
