HUSHPUPPIES
Preparation Time: 30 minutes Yield: 15-20 Hushpuppies
Background:
Hushpuppies are one of those unique items found everywhere in Cajun
country. I [Chef Folse] have traveled the world over but have never
seen hushpuppies or fritters served as often as in Louisiana. Once
again, legend has it that the hushpuppy was developed in the early
1700's by the Ursuline nuns. The nuns converted corn meal, given to
them by the Indians, into a delicious fritter called "Croquettes de Maise."
The name hushpuppy came about when an old Creole cook was frying a batch of
catfish and croquettes. His hungry hunting dogs began to howl in anticipation
of a chance to savour some of the catfish. The innovative Creole instead
tossed a few of the croquettes de maise to the dogs and yelled, "hush,
puppies!" The name has since been associated with this corn meal delicacy.
Ingredients:
oil for deep frying
1-1/4 cup yellow corn meal
1/2 cup flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1 pinch of salt
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 small onion, finely diced
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup whole kernel corn
1/4 cup sliced green onions
Procedure:
In a homestyle deep fryer, such as a Fry Daddy, heat oil according to
manufacturer's directions. In a large bowl, combine corn meal, flour,
baking powder, sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are
well blended. Add diced onion, egg, milk, corn, and sliced green onions.
Continue to mix until all ingredients are well blended. The batter
should be smooth and free of any lumps. Using a soup spoon or a small ice
cream scoop, dip one hushpuppy and deep fry as a sampler. The hushpuppy
will be done when it floats and is golden brown. Correct seasonings
and cooking time, if necessary. Continue to fry until all are done.
