Did you use any milk or buttermilk? Also, fresh chopped jalapeño's or store bought ones in a can or jar? Thanks, they sound great!
Seriously, I need to stay off this forum when I'm hungry. My stomach is really growling hard now. I have never made homemade hushpuppies, but this sounds so good and easy too. Thanks for sharing. We got a crappie camp coming up here in Illinois and will make some for our fish fry. Everyone is welcome to come to our camp, just go to the Illinois forum and check it out.
Lets go soak a line. Pat
Will have to try those....Thanks
Thanks crappiehoarder going to try this out I like the hot pepper idea
I think I'd forego the sugar--not much worse than sweet cornbread or hushpuppies. I have been using a great recipe I saved when I was a boy of 14 years old, from Boy's Life Magazine in 1954. It's the best I've had, but then, I've been using this recipe for 59 years. Here's that recipe: Mix:
4 Cups Medium-fine cornmeal (I like stone ground)
4 level teaspoon Baking Powder
4 Tablespoons Flour
2 level teaspoon salt
Add:
4 cups Milk
2 eggs, beaten
1 chopped yellow onion
Drop by tablespoons into hot grease. Cook until golden and floating, turningseveral times to cook all around. Drainon paper towels, or, preferable, a split open brown paper bag.

If too watery = put in fridge till it thickens up....
I use a small ice cream scoop (is supposed to be used for something else = is smaller than reg Ice cream scoop) (the kind that has the little bar that comes across when ya squeeze the handle)
to drop em in the grease .....
"Teach a man to fish = he can feed himself "
"Teach the world to fish = you won't have any fish left to eat "
I'll have to check the original recipe--over the years I have tripled and quadrupled this recipe for larger groups, and may have included too much milk. I followed this recipe last night and it was too thin.--Still a great recipe, but I'd start with 2 cups of milk and then increase the amount until it gets to the proper consistency.
