Hey all! Just saw pappywith4's catfish batter recipe on here, so I thought I'd throw a hushpuppy recipe out there to go with it. May be a repost, but I didn't see it. So here it is:
2 cups self-rising cornmeal
1/2 cup self-rising flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup grated onion
1/4 cup chopped bell pepper
1 cup buttermilk
2 medium eggs
12 fresh red and/or orange habanero pods thoroughly minced
Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl and wisk thoroughly. Set to the side and do the same in a seperate bowl with all the wet ingredients. Mix two bowls together and wisk until mixed well. Adjust batter with a little more cornmeal or buttermilk depending on thickness. You want it to be very thick but not dry. Set mix to the side for 15-20 minutes to let it set up. This helps it make very crisp puppies (or so I'm told)
Heat deepfryer to 400 degrees. You can use 2 tablespoons to place batter into oil when it is heated enough to cook. Dip both spoons into the oil and then use the spoons to scoop out enough mix to fill spoon and then use other spoon to help shape mix and to help place mix into oil. Cook until golden brown and enjoy!!!
