What goes better with fish than hush puppies? These are great and true southern treat. This was an instant family favorite the first time we ever tired them.
Hush Puppies
2 cup yellow corn meal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons minced onion
2 eggs (slightly beaten)
1 cup buttermilk
2 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tablespoon bacon fat (melted)
Peanut oil or vegetable oil for frying (enough to completely cover hush puppies about 2-3 inches if pan frying)
*Preheat a deep fryer or large skillet with oil 350 degrees F. In a mixing bowl combine the first 9 ingredients. In another mixing bowl combine eggs, buttermilk, garlic, and bacon fat. Add wet into dry and mix until just combined. BE CAREFUL not to over mix. Drop 1/2 Tablespoon size of batter into hot oil. And fry until golden brown all over, about 3-4 minutes.
Feeds 8-9
We like to serve these with Cajun Blackened Catfish
