MAMA'S CORNMEAL HUSHPUPPIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the cornmeal, onions, jalapeno and a pinch of salt. Add enough of the buttermilk to make a stiff batter. You may not need the whole 2 cups.
• Heat the peanut oil in a deep fryer or a large heavy bottomed pot to 250 degrees F.
• Drop the batter into the hot oil by teaspoonfuls. The hushpuppies will turn over in the oil as they cook. They are done when they are brown all over, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels and season with salt. Keep the hushpuppies warm while you fry the remaining batter. Serve hot.

MISS BROWN'S HUSHPUPPIES TWO WAYS

Steps:

• For the hushpuppies: Pour enough oil to reach 3 inches up the sides of a Dutch oven. Heat the oil to 375 degrees F.
• Combine the cornmeal, flour, House Seasoning and baking powder in a medium bowl. Pulse the onions in a food processor until finely minced. Add to the cornmeal mixture and stir to combine. Add the egg and enough buttermilk to moisten into a batter. Separate half of the batter to another bowl, then stir the okra into one of the batters. (Make sure the batter isn't too thin. It should hold its shape when scooped out with a spoon.)
• Arrange some paper towels in a baking sheet and place a wire rack on top. Working in batches, drop heaping teaspoonfuls of each batter into the hot oil using a cookie scoop coated with nonstick cooking spray, and cook until golden brown, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes depending on the size (see Cook's Note). Drain the hushpuppies on the wire rack.
• Meanwhile, make the whipped honey butter: Beat the butter and honey in a bowl with a hand mixer at medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Season with salt. Serve with the hushpuppies.
• Stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container.
