Servings: 8

Preparation duration: -1 minutes

Cooking duration: -1 minutes

 

Ingredients:

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Vegetable, peanut or canola oil for frying

1/4 cup finely minced fresh or dehydrated onion

1 tablespoon lemon juice (omit if using buttermilk)

1 cup milk (or buttermilk)

1/2 teaspoon finely minced parsley

1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon sugar

1/2 cup flour (can be whole wheat flour too of course)

2 cups yellow cornmeal

Equipment:

frying pan

mixing bowl

whisk

paper towels

oven

Cooking instruction summary:

  1. In a cast iron skillet or a large heavy fry pan over medium-high heat, heat about 3 inches of oil to 350-360 F or until a small amount of batter dropped into the hot oil sizzles and floats
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients, parsley and onions.
  3. Add the lemon juice to the milk and set aside for 5 minutes (if using buttermilk omit the lemon juice). Add the egg and add to the milk, whisk to combine.
  4. Add 1 cup of the milk/egg mixture to the dry ingredients and combine to make a stiff batter (if the batter is too dry, add the rest of the milk; if the batter is too thin, add cornmeal). The batter should be thoroughly moistened, but should still hold a rounded shape on a spoon.
  5. Using a teaspoon, scoop up a heaping spoonful of batter and using another spoon (or fingertip) form into a rough ball and slide into the hot oil. Rinsing the spoon in cold water after every 3 balls makes forming them easier. Fry for approximately 5 minutes or until golden brown, turning to brown all sides.
  6. Remove from oil and place hushpuppies on paper towels; continue cooking the remaining batter. Keep warm in the oven until all the hushpuppies have been fried and dinner is ready to serve. Serve hot.

The fig is also a fertility symbol and the Arab association with male genitals is so strong that the original word 'fig' is considered improper.

Food Joke

The Passover test [My thanks to Jeff G for the following] Sean is waiting for a bus when another man joins him at the bus stop. After 20 minutes of waiting, Sean takes out a sandwich from his lunch box and starts to eat. But noticing the other man watching, Sean asks, "Would you like one? My wife has made me plenty." "Thank you very much, but I must decline your kind offer," says the other man, "I’m Rabbi Levy." "Nice to meet you, Rabbi," says Sean, "but my sandwiches are alright for you to eat. They only contain cheese. There’s no meat in them." "It’s very kind of you," says Rabbi Levy, "but today we Jews are celebrating Passover. It would be a great sin to eat a sandwich because during the 8 days of Passover, we cannot eat bread. In fact it would be a sin comparable to the sin of adultery." "OK," says Sean, "but it’s difficult for me to understand the significance of what you’ve just said." Many weeks later, Sean and Rabbi Levy meet again. Sean says, "Do you remember, Rabbi, that when we last met, I offered you a sandwich which you refused because you said eating bread on Passover would be as great a sin as that of adultery?" Rabbi Levy replies, "Yes, I remember saying that." "Well, Rabbi," says Sean, "that day, I went over to my mistress’s apartment and told her what you said. We then tried out both the sins, but I must admit, we just couldn’t see the comparison."
