Anyone care to show me your recipe for hush puppies? I know there must be some here but this site is so different now.

Hush Puppies are fried cornbread. You can use your own cornbread recipe (or a box mix) or:

Hush Puppies

Makes about 3½ dozen

1 cup yellow cornmeal

1 cup all-purpose flour
3 Tablespoons sugar
1 Tablespoon kosher salt
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 cup milk
3 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, or 1 Tablespoon melted butter plus 2 Tablespoons melted bacon fat

In a large bowl, whisk the cornmeal with the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Add the egg, milk and melted butter and whisk until smooth. Cover and refrigerate the hush puppy batter for at least 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 400º. In a large saucepan, heat 2 inches of oil to 350º. Set a rack over a large rimmed baking sheet and place near the stove. Stir the hush puppy batter. Carefully drop Tablespoon-size balls of batter into the hot oil, about 6 at a time, and fry, turning a few times, until they're deeply browned and cooked through, about 3 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the hush puppies to the rack to drain. Repeat with the remaining batter. When all of the hush puppies have been fried, reheat them in the oven for about 3 minutes, or until they're hot.

MAKE AHEAD: The hush puppy batter can be refrigerated overnight.

I love hushpuppies, especially with fried catfish. Though I never made them, your recipe seems simple enough to do. Thanks for sharing!

Yes, fried fish w/tartar sauce, cole slaw, french fries and an order of hush puppies on the side. Ohhh, now I'm hungry!
