Hush Puppy Corn Cakes Food

I don't normally like hush puppies. They are generally too dry, too dense, and too bland for my taste. After tasting some in a restaurant that I actually liked, I decided to come up with a recipe of my own. This one deliberately uses stuff right out of the pantry so that it can be whipped up quickly and served fast.

Over at Cheap Healthy Good (http://tinyurl.com/nnj2oe), Kris tried making hush puppies from a recipe in _Food & Wine_. In an effort to reduce the fat, she tried pan frying them - but they immediately spread out and turned into something that looked like arepas (to me, they look like small blini), but tasted like hush puppies - partly due to the 1% milk creating a thinner batter, and partly due to the lower temperature and non-immersive nature of pan-frying. Regardless, she said they were tasty. Using expensive farmer's market eggs, she estimated they cost about 9 cents each; with supermarket eggs, they might be as low as 7 cents each.

Here's a healthier alternative to the usual deep-fried hush puppies. I think these look like mini corn muffins, but they taste the way a hush puppy should. Originally from an August 1983 issue of Bon Apetit from "The Cook's Exchange Readers' Best Recipes".

We love hushpuppies, but my husband is from the south and was craving hoe cakes. So I decided to combine the two and this is what was created. We especially like these along side BBQ'd meat or with fish.

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 I 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! -Karyl Goodhart, Geraldine, Montana
