Last but not least…hushpuppies!
Hushpuppies
Serve these hot, preferably right out of the grease so they will have a great crunch! These go perfect with the last two posts (pulled pork bbq and coleslaw) or a fish fry, picnic, or any time you would normally serve cornbread.
Ingredients:
- 6 cups peanut oil
- 1 1/2 cups self-rising cornmeal
- 1/2 cup self-rising flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
Directions:
Using a deep pot, preheat oil for frying to 350 degrees F.
Using a mixing bowl, stir together the cornmeal, flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the onion. In a small bowl, stir together the buttermilk and egg. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until blended. Drop the batter, 1 teaspoon at a time, into the oil. Dip the spoon in a glass of water after each hushpuppy is dropped in the oil. Fry until golden brown, turning the hushpuppies during the cooking process.
