Anybody got a good hush puppy recipe?

Question

I really like the hush puppies at Cracker Barrel mostly because they are light and fluffy. The last time we had catfish I tried a recipe that I got from the internet but they were extremely dry and hard and had very little taste. Anybody know what I did wrong and how I can fix it? I'm making catfish again tonight and really want some hush puppies to go with it but don't want to waste them again (we threw the others in the trash, they were that bad). Any help will be appreciated!

Answer 1

When i make mine this is the way I do it.2 cups self rising flour---1 cup corn meal---1/2 cup chopped onions---1 egg---1/2 can cream corn---mix these together,add water if needed to mix.Mix should not be thin.Heat your oil & fry (one tablespoon makes 1 hush puppy).They will float to the top and be golden brown.I put a little cayenne pepper & garlic powder in mine.Hope this helps...

Place first 9 ingredients in a large bowl, stirring well to combine. Combine beaten egg white, milk, and oil in a small bowl, stirring well. Add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients, stirring just until blended. Gently stir in green onions and parsley.
Spoon 1 tablespoon batter into each of 8 miniature (1 3/4 inch) muffin pans that have been coated with cooking spray. Bake at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until hush puppies are golden brown. Immediately remove from pans, and serve warm. Yields 8 small hush puppies. Does not rise while baking, so as much batter you put in the pan is as high as they will be.
