Easy Hush Puppy Recipe

Hush Puppy Ingredients And Equipment
For this recipe you will need:
3 Cups Corn Meal
5 Cups Boiling Water
1 1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Corn Oil
Medium Large Sauce Pan
Frying Pan
Measuring Cups
Measuring Spoons
Spatula
Spoons

First Step: Hush Puppy Dough

In a sauce pan on a burner set on medium high combined and stir:
3 Cups Corn Meal
5 Cups Boiling Water
1 1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder

You should continue to stir until the dough is hot and wants to create a ball.

Second Step: Forming Hush Puppies

Once the dough is still very warm, but not hot enough to burn your hand, take a small portion out of the pan and shape it into a round flat pancake. The picture to the far left should give you an idea of its proportion.

I do this step by rolling the dough into balls and then with a piece of wax paper on top and underneath the dough ball smash it with a spatula.

Third Step: Frying Hush Puppies

Take your frying pan and fill it 1/4 of an inch up with corn oil. Turn your burner on to medium high. If you have an electric stove top like mine you will need to wait about three minutes for it to heat up. Then place about eight hush puppies into the hot oil. Once their bottom sides look like the upper close up left picture flip them over and let the other side fry. Once they are done take them out, blot the oil off of them using paper towels and then salt them.
