The first time I cooked these my Mom was frying shrimp. I asked if she could prepare hush puppies. She asked if I could do them as she had her hands full. As it turned out, my hush puppies came out great. Mom said they were better than hers.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 1/8 tsp red pepper
- 3/4 cup milk
- ½ cup finely chopped onion (or 1/4 onion and 1/4 green onion)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium glass bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well.
Step 2
Heat 2 inches of oil to 375 degrees.
Step 3
Drop by teaspoonful into the hot oil until golden brown (approximately 3 minutes). Goes great with fried shrimp. In fact, cooking the hush puppies in the oil that shrimp or fish has been fried in enhances the taste.
