There's nothing quite like hush puppies straight out of the fryer. Justin Wilson's recipe is the perfect blend of cornmeal and spices, resulting in a crispy exterior and flavorful interior.


serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  under 30 minutes

ingredients

oil for frying
2 cups cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
1 cup chopped green onion
2 tablespoons warm bacon drippings or oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
ground cayenne pepper, to taste

directions

Heat oil in a deep fryer to 365 degrees F.

Combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a bowl. Mix well.

Add the eggs to the cornmeal mixture and mix until incorporated. Slowly stir in the buttermilk.

Add the parsley, green onion, bacon grease, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.

Drop the hush puppy batter by spoonfuls into the hot oil. Cook until they are golden brown and float to the top of the oil.

Remove the hush puppies with a slotted spoon and let drain on paper toweling. Serve hot with ketchup or other dipping sauces.
