Awesome hushpuppies

Hello, I am a newby to crappie.com but not to crappie fishing. I really like this website. I have a great hushpuppy recipe that I want to share. Ingredients are two eggs beaten,1/4 cup sugar,one small to medium onion chopped,one cup self rising yellow cormmeal,one cup self rising flour,one can 14.75oz of cream style corn. Mix it all together and drop it in the oil one spoonful at a time. Cook until golden brown. I like to take half the mix and add chopped jalopenos. I will post pics when I figure out how. I am still learning.

Great recipe....thats the same one that I use.

Welcome from nc

Use that same recipe. Next time you make them, put all your ingredients but the corn in a food processor and blend the heck out of it then add your corn. You will be amazed how much smoother your hushpuppies will be.

I actually did try that,to me it changed the thickness and made the mixture too watery and I had to add more cornmeal. Just didn't work for me.Maybe if I use the food processor on everything except the onions it might work for me.

Sounds goid

Use green onions in same proportion, mixing tops and bottoms for color- we find it just as good with a better presentation.

that sounds good I will try that I like green onions.

4 of us tried these yesterday, and everyone liked them! The other 3 eating got a copy of the recipe. I thought the mix was a bit thin at 1st as well, and used a melon-baller to drop it in the oil, but they fried-up dang near perfectly round.

I will be giving this recipe a go. Sounds good.

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!

I have never needed to use any milk or buttermilk using this recipe.I just use sliced jalapenos in a jar and chop them up. Sometimes I will also add some whole kernel corn to it.

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.

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 .....

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.
