HOMEMADE DEEP FRIED HUSH PUPPIES

Steps:

• Combine ingredientsPlace all ingredients in a medium bowl and stir by hand until well combined. Refrigerate mixture for at least 1 hour.
• Heat deep fryerHeat peanut oil to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. I highly recommend using a temperature controlled deep fryer opposed to a deep pot on the stove.I use the Farberware 4L Double Deep Fryer. Although it is exclusively available at Walmart this one here is very similar to the one I use.Tip: When taking the hot food out of the oil you'll want to be prepared. So, line a baking sheet with paper towels and then place a baking rack on top of that as set aside until ready to use.
• Scoop batterScoop up the batter with a cookie scoop and gently place the batter into the hot oil. I usually cook 5 to 7 at a time. Careful not overcrowd the batter in the fryer or you could have a mess on your hands.
• CookAllow the batter to cook in the hot oil for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown. This recipe will make around 20 - 25 hush puppies.Keep an eye on those pups. If you're lucky you might even catch them doing somersaults in the hot oil. LOLTip: It's okay to flip them a few times with the spider strainer while frying, just be careful.
• Remove From OilCarefully remove hush puppies from oil with the spider strainer.Scoop out hush puppies and place them on the baking rack.Complete above steps until all batter is fried.
• Allow to cool for a few minutes. Serve as a side to fish and chips or whatever your little heart desires but most of all enjoy!

HUSH PUPPIES

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together just until they are wet.
• Refrigerate 30 minutes to 5 hours.
• To cook, heat oil to about 350-375 degrees.
• Dip a small spoon in cold water, then get a spoonful of batter, using the side of the bowl to"break-off" the spoonful of batter from the bowl.
• Immediately submerge spoon in the hot oil for a few seconds until the Hush Puppy releases from the spoon.
• Repeat this process with each Hush Puppy, until you have 6 or 7 in the hot oil.
• Do not crowd the"puppies", as you do not want to lower the temperature of the hot oil.
• Getting the spoon wet between puppies is important, as it helps keep the batter from sticking to the spoon.
• If your oil is the correct temperature, the hush puppies should be golden on the outside and cooked on the inside.
• When golden on one side, if they automatically turn themselves over, you're cooking like a Pro.
• If they don't give them a little nudge to make them turn over.
• Possible Problems: If oil is too hot, or"raw puppies are too large", they will get too browned on the outside and be gummy or runny on the inside.
• If oil is not hot enough, the puppies will be greasy.
• I usually put 1 or 2 spoonsful of batter in the hot oil to test it before making a whole batch of these tasty little Southern treats.
• Adjust oil temperature as needed.
• Although not quite as good as when freshly cooked, I often freeze leftover hush puppies and reheat them in a toaster oven until warm.
• They are still mighty good.
