Anyone with a great recipe for hush puppies?

[Blondy876]

I have been craving some hush puppies but I certainly can't find a restaurant in NJ that makes them so I guess if I really want some I'll have to give it a try. Does anyone have a great (but easy) recipe for them?

I found this receipe:

Vegetable oil, for deep frying
2 cups cornmeal
1 egg, beaten
1 cup water
3/4 cup powdered dry milk
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt

In a deep saucepan, pour enough vegetable oil to come about 2 to 3 inches up the side of the pan. Heat oil to 365 degrees F.

In a mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, egg, water, milk, sugar and salt with a whisk, whisking until just blended. Working in batches, drop batter into oil a tablespoon at a time, taking care not to overcrowd the pan and bring the oil temperature down too much. Fry hush puppies until cooked through and golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Let oil return to 365 degrees F between batches.

OK - northern here - I've heard of hushpuppies, but never had them. How would you serve them? Just the way they are out of the fryer, or with something else???


And I have to learn how to make sweet tea....

I do not have a recipe because I just add this and that.

Cornmeal
buttermilk
chopped onion (green onion will do also)
egg
pepper

Mix until you have the right consistency then spoon into hot oil. Fry for a few minutes on each side until golden brown. We eat hushpuppies with fried fish. Some places serve a melted cheese mixture of cheese wheez and rotel tomatoes to dip the hush puppies in.

Sweet tea - 2 family size tea bags in a 2 qt pot of water. Simmer until the water is dark caramel color. Add 1-1 1/2cup of sugar to a gallon pitcher along with tea and stir well Fill pitcher with water until filled.
