I understand your 'boo'boo' for not getting that recipe from your
mom, but I was wondering if you had any old cookbooks of hers or if
another family member might. It's just possible she wrote that
recipe down before she had it committed to memory.

-JimL


And, fan through every cookbook she used. If she was anything like my
mother, she had slips of paper stuck all over the place. Be careful with
those slips if you find them. When they were exposed to whatever was on the
cook's hands, like veg oil, they begin to disintegrate. If you find any,
make copies right away.

Correction to my previous post. The brand is House-Autry and not
House of Autry.

With all this talk of hushpuppies, I started craving a fish fry
and fried up some fish and hushpuppies for dinner.

Doesn't do me any good at all. I say hush to my puppy all the time
but it does not work.

Question: Who has a fantastic hush puppy recipe? Next, what is the recipe. My
mom died several years ago, and one of my biggest boo-boos was my failure to get
that recipe.

Help!

Here is s pretty good recipe. Hometown cookin from Mandarin FL.

2 1/2 cups yellow corn meal
1-1/8 cup King Auther brand, stone ground all-purpose flour.
3 jumbo eggs
1 cup of medium chopped (small chunks) fresh sweet onion (Vidalia Onion
if you can get it.)
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp or less red pepper. (optional)
1 cup buttermilk (you can also use plain milk or 1/2n1/2.
4 heaping tablespoons sugar (or to taste. do not exceed 6 tblsp)
3/4 teaspoon seasoned salt. I use Lowreys.
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper blend.
1 teaspoon baking powder
2/3 teaspoon baking soda (DO NOT OVER USE BAKING SODA)
1/8 cup bacon grease. This is a big key to
the flavor. In a pinch you can use other types
of cooking oil, but bacon is my favorite.

You also need some type of cooking oil to deep fry
these in. I usually use Crisco oil although peanut oil
and olive oil have no cholesterol.

Mix all of the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add your
eggs, oil, and buttermilk. Stir it all up until
the flavors are thoroughly blended.

Turn your cooker on medium high heat. When it's
hot you can drop your hush puppies in using a
table spoon. Allow them to brown on all sides.
They should begin floating when done, but if they
don't, don't overcook them.

Serve with some fresh seafood or southern fried chicken.

I know that area well, or at least I did until we moved away some years
ago. You know the Chinese restaurant I mean...the one on the right as
you head towards the Creek...in the nice little strip mall with the
beautiful live oaks? The shrimp and asparagus is delightful.

Unfortunately, the chinese restaurant is gone, and replaced by a rather
large shopping center. But, others have opened. I went to Wasabi's for
sushi tonight. It was great.

You would not believe the changes in the last 5 or 6 years. A growth
rate of 600%!
