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.

Food Joke

Upon arriving home, a husband was met at the door by his sobbing wife. Tearfully she explained, "It's the druggist. He insulted me terribly this morning on the phone." Immediately the husband drove downtown to confront the druggist and demand an apology. Before he could say more than a few words, the druggist told him, "Now, just a minute, please listen to my side of it... This morning the alarm failed to go off, so I was late getting up. I went without breakfast and hurried out to the car, just to realize that I locked the house with both house and car keys inside. I had to break a window to get my keys. Then, driving a little too fast, I got a speeding ticket. Later, about three blocks from the store, I had a flat tire. When I got to the store there was a bunch of people waiting for me to open up. I opened and started waiting on these people, and all the time the darn phone was ringing off the hook." He continued, "Then I had to break a roll of nickels against the cash register drawer to make change, and they spilled all over the floor. I got down on my hands and knees to pick up the nickels; the phone was still ringing. When I came up I cracked my head on the open cash drawer, which made me stagger back against a showcase with bunch of perfume bottles on it...all of them hit the floor and broke. Meanwhile, the phone is still ringing with no let up, and I finally got to answer it. It was your wife. She wanted to know how to use a rectal thermometer...and, honest mister, all I did was tell her!"
