Almost Famous Hushpuppies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat 2 inches peanut oil in a deep-fryer or Dutch oven to 375 degrees F. Whisk the cornmeal, flour, 1 teaspoon salt, the sugar, cayenne and paprika in a large bowl to get rid of the lumps. (No one likes a lumpy hushpuppy.) Mix in the remaining ingredients, stirring well to combine.
• Dip 2 spoons into a mug of water (this allows the batter to come clean off). Scoop up about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the batter and carefully slide it into the hot oil, working in batches. Fry the scoops of batter 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked all the way through (test the first one for doneness). Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined baking sheet, seasoning with salt as soon as they come out of the fryer.

Steps:

• Combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, dried onions, baking powder, salt and pepper in a large bowl and mix. Next, add the hot water slowly until the mixture begins to thicken. The batter should be thick and start to rise quickly. Continue to mix and knead until the batter stops rising. Once the batter is thick enough, let it stand for 30 minutes before cooking.
• When ready to cook, add enough oil to a frying pan for the hushpuppies to be submerged. Heat over high heat to 350 degrees F. Use a spoon to carefully drop the batter into the oil. Make sure to spread them apart so they do not stick together. Fry until golden brown on all sides. (The hushpuppies will rise to the top of the oil, so make sure to turn them in the oil on all sides so they cook evenly.) Repeat with the remaining batter.

Steps:

• 1. Stir 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup ketchup, and chopped parsley together in a small bowl. Cover and keep chilled.
• 2. Sift cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cayenne through a fine meshed sieve into a large bowl. Stir in buttermilk, egg, and scallions, until a batter is formed. Do not over mix.
• 3. Pour 2 inches of frying oil into a large heavy-bottomed pot. Heat oil to 375F. over medium heat. Working in small batches, drop batter from an oiled tablespoon into hot oil. Fry until hushpuppies are golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per batch. Remove, using a slotted spoon, to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. Serve immediately.
