Some years ago, I was a cook on a large cattle ranch. One day, I thought back to the hush puppies I'd had as a child on a Southern trip...and ended up creating my own version of them. They go well as part of an old-fashioned fried chicken dinner with mashed potatoes and gravy, buttermilk biscuits, corn on the cob and watermelon pickles! My husband is a farmer and also a truck driver. We have two grown children and two younger ones, 6 and 2. Ingredients:
2 cups yellow cornmeal |
1/2 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons sugar |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1 egg, beaten |
3/4 cup milk |
3/4 cup cream-style corn |
oil for deep-fat frying |
confectioners' sugar, optional |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Add egg, milk and corn; stir just until mixed.
2. In a deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Drop batter by teaspoonfuls into oil. Fry until golden brown.
3. Allow to cool slightly and roll in confectioners' sugar if desired. Serve immediately with fried chicken, ham or sausage. Yield: 12-15 servings.
