Best Hush Puppies Ever
Critic's Disclaimer: The title of this recipe is based on the opinion of a 6 yr old whose basis for comparison is the hush puppies from his favorite fish restaurant in our area. It's development was out of necessity when I was frying up catfish and realized I didn't have any cornmeal for making the hush puppies. Also, admittedly, I eye balled all my measurements as I normally do, but this is roughly what each measurement would be.
Ingredients
-
1/2 cup all purpose flour
-
1 tsp baking powder

Preferred high temperature frying oil (enough to fill a medium Dutch oven 3 inches deep)

When oil is hot, carefully scoop and drop hush puppy batter by the tablespoon into the oil (I actually use a cookie scoop that's like a mini ice cream scoop). Be sure not to over crowd the pan the hush puppies will expand as they cook (I cook about 6 at a time).

Cook until deep golden brown, about 3 minutes, flipping occasionally to make sure they cook evenly. Remove from with a slotted spoon or wire spider to a paper towel lined plate. Let cool a few minutes before eating their yumminess!
