Just Right - Easy Hush Puppies Recipe
Just Right – Easy Hush Puppies Recipe

What is better than a hush puppy out of the fryer dipped in butter? Honestly, not many things!

I love hush puppies and I believe they are a necessary side for a fish fry! My recipe developing of hush puppies is a work and progress and I believe this recipe is the best yet!

When I was growing up my mother made hot water cornbread. Have you had that? So delicious. The corn bread has cornmeal, a little flour if you want, salt, a little bacon drippings and boiling water. I decided I’d try my hush puppy recipe using this hot water cornbread recipe as a base! I think I may need a little more tweaking for my hush puppies recipe , but thus far, they’re my best yet! I used self rising flour instead of all purpose flour, Cajun seasonings and a lot of onion. The Cajun seasoning I used was https://slapyamama.com/

Not only are these hush puppies a must for my Southern Catfish, but they make a great appetizer with a great dipping sauce or just slathered in butter as a snack. You can easily use these in place of cornbread with your meal! Hope you enjoy! Here’s the link for my Southern Fried Catfish: https://the2spoons.com/the-best-southern-fried-catfish/

Prep Time 10 minutes mins
Course Appetizer, Bread, Side Dish
Cuisine American

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup self rising flour
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 to 1 tsp cajun seasoning (I used Slap Yo Mama)
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp grated onion and the juices
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Combine all of the ingredients except the boiling water and butter.  Bring the water to a boil with the butter and add to the dry ingredients.  Stir to combine.  The batter will be kind of wet.  Heat the oil in a skillet to medium-high and drop the hush puppies by teaspoon or tablespoon into the hot oil.  Cook until golden brown on the first side, flip and cook until browned completely.  I cook these at medium high instead of high heat because they will be doughy if you brown them to fast.  Serve as an appetizer, with fried fish or just a snack.  Don’t forget to slather them in butter!
