Hushpuppies Recipe

Name: Hushpuppies
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 cups Fine Grain Cornmeal; 3/4 cups Whole Wheat Flour; 1 teaspoon Baking Soda; 1-1/2 teaspoon Paprika; 1/2 teaspoons Red Pepper Flakes; 2 teaspoons Salt; 3 Tablespoons Cane Sugar; 3 stalks Green Onion, Finely Chopped; 1 cup Buttermilk; 2 whole Eggs, Lightly Beaten; Canola Oil, Enough For Frying

Servings: persons

1
In a large mixing bowl, add all dry ingredients (cornmeal through sugar) and whisk to combine. Add the onion, buttermilk and eggs into the dry mixture and mix until combined.
2
In a saucepan, heat about 3-4 cups of canola oil to 350u00b0F. Using your hands, form the dough into balls (about a tablespoonful of dough works great) and carefully drop 3 to 4 of them in the hot oil with a heat resistant spoon. The oil should bubble around the hushpuppies and should naturally turn them in circles, evenly cooking them and creating a nice crispy outside. This only takes a minute or two or until golden brown or desired level of crispness. Fry only 3 or 4 at a time so that the puppies have plenty of space. When done remove them from the oil with the heat resistant spoon and place them on a paper towel lined plate. Repeat with the remaining dough.
3
Serve with burgers and eat leftovers with jam for breakfast the next day.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
