Hush Puppies

Recipe Ingredients

1 1/2 cups	93g / 3.3oz	Yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup	31g / 1.1oz	All-purpose flour
1 teaspoon	5ml	Cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon	5ml	Sugar
1 tablespoon	15ml	Baking powder
1 teaspoon	5ml	Baking soda
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons	45ml	Minced scallions
2 tablespoons	30ml	Eggs - beaten (large)
1 cup	237ml	Buttermilk
2 tablespoons	30ml	Lard - melted
		Peanut oil - for frying

Recipe Instructions

Sift all of the dry ingredients together into a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and add the scallions, eggs, buttermilk, and lard. Stir well.

In a deep fryer or wok, heat the oil to 375 degrees. Drop heaping teaspoonfuls of the batter into the oil. The hush puppies will sink to the bottom, rise to the top, and turn a light golden color.

When golden brown (about three to five minutes; do not over-brown them), remove with a slotted spoon and drain on crumpled paper towels. Serve at once or keep warm in a slow oven.

Serves 6.
