SUNNY'S EASY HUSH PUPPIES WITH A HOT HONEY DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• For the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the cornbread mix and seasoning blend, breaking up any clumps in the mix. Add the creamed corn and eggs and stir to combine gently; the mixture should be scoopable but hold its form. (Think the perfect ice cream ball.) Allow to rest in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
• For the frying: In a large pot or fryer, bring at least 2 inches of peanut oil to 375 degrees F. Using 2 spoons or a medium ice cream scoop, scoop out some batter and slowly lower it into the oil. Drop in a few more and cook, flipping if needed, until the hush puppies float and are golden all around, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove to a wire rack over a baking sheet and season with a sprinkle of salt. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• For the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, hot sauce and sugar. Use as a dipping sauce for the hush puppies.

HUSH PUPPY CORN CAKES

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, oregano, cayenne pepper and black pepper. In a second bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk, scallions, and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, until well blended. Stir the wet ingredients into the cornmeal mixture until just blended. Cover and refrigerate the batter for 1 hour.
• In a large non-stick or cast-iron pan, heat 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium-high until shimmering. Drop rounded tablespoons of batter into the pan, like you would pancakes. Cook until bubbly, then flip over and continue cooking until golden brown.
• Add an additional 1/2 tbsp oil before each batch, allowing to come up to temperature before adding the next round of batter. Continue in this fashion until all the batter is gone.
