Anyone got a sure fire recipe for hushpuppies? Big fundraiser event I'm involved in always does a fish fry the evening before and I'd like to take hushpuppies. We'll have a bunch of fryers there ready to roll. Hoping to be able to have as "pre-made" as possible as I'll be there all day Friday setting up the 3-D course and getting the bucket raffles set.

I've only had "homemade" ones a few times, but each time they were amazing.

Simple, corn meal egg, a little milk, I use leftover from breading fish. Squeeze into balls and fry.
Baking powder!

Still looking for the perfect recipe…

A commercial style scoop will help speed things up and make the sizes consistent for easier frying.

Hey Chumleyhunts,

Here is a recipe I developed for Jalapeño Hushpuppies/Corn Fritters, they are outstanding and who doesn't love Hushpuppies, right? Where I am from we call them Corn Fritters.

Preheat Oil to 375 F

In a bowl sift together and mix 1 cup All Purpose Flour, 1 Tsp Baking Powder, ½ Tsp Salt, 2 Tbs Granulated Sugar.

Mix in 1 Beaten Egg, with ½ Cup Homogenized 3.25% Milk and give it a rough mix.

Then add 1 cup of a can of Green Giant Corn Niblett’s (or more if you like) along with 1 or 2 large small diced Jalapeño Peppers (depending on how spicy you want them, or you can skip them altogether, but they add lots of flavor and makes them unique) and mix until all ingredients are well incorporated, but do not over mix.

Add 1 large spoonful or a small ice cream scooper of the mixture into the 375° F Oil and let cook for approximately 6 minutes or until golden/dark golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pot/fryer, I check one before taking them all out to ensure they are fully cooked.

Place on a wire rack to drain and season while hot, I use Everglades Seasoning that I make at home.

Bon Appetite~

House Autry, water, and an ice cream scoop. You can get into a good rhythm between dropping the hush puppies and getting them out of the oil. I once made over 1k hush puppies in three hours or so for a charity drive.

Pre made hush puppies suck balls. If you have access to a fryer, they don't take long to make.

I haven’t had a hush puppy in thirty years. You ever heard of heart disease?

I always use whatever Louisiana Cajun fish fry I have left after I get my fish fried. It’s basically fine ground cornmeal with seasonings, I’m sure yellow corn meal could be used in its place if you added a little Old Bay.

I dump whatever is left into a bowl and match that amount with flour. Tablespoon of baking powder. Diced jalapeños, however many you think is right. Double handful of diced onion. Small can of corn. Handful of shredded cheddar cheese. A little Old Bay and Tony Catchere’s or Slap yo Momma. Dump in enough beer to get a nice consistency about like drywall putty.

Spoon into hot grease and cook until golden brown. They make up into a nice fritter. I don’t care for the more traditional coarse cornmeal balls that most sell or make as hush puppies. The Shore Lunch ones I ate in SD being especially poor to my tastes, basically unseasoned fried cornmeal.

A good one will have diced onion in it. Otherwise it’s not a real hushpuppie

Nope, but I did get a free BBQ sandwich and chips. I call that a win.
