CRAB HUSH PUPPIES WITH CILANTRO-JALAPENO DIP

Steps:

• For the crab hush puppies: In a medium bowl, whisk the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, kosher salt, sugar and garlic powder. In a separate small bowl, whisk the buttermilk and egg. Make a well in the dry ingredients and begin to gently stir in the buttermilk mixture (I use a wooden spoon). Do not overmix. Gently stir in the crab and scallions until just mixed.
• For the cilantro-jalapeno dip: Combine the cilantro, mayonnaise, garlic powder, sea salt, pepper, reserved scallion greens and jalapeno in a blender and blend until pureed. Refrigerate until serving time. This can be made a day in advance.
• Heat several inches of canola oil in a Dutch oven to 350 degrees F. (There should be enough oil for the hush puppies to be completely submerged.) Use a 1-inch ice cream scoop to drop the batter into the hot oil in batches. Fry until deep golden brown, about 4 minutes. While the hush puppies are hot, sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt. Serve immediately with the dip.

HUSH PUPPIES WITH CRAB AND BACON

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with a double layer of paper towel. In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, baking powder and baking soda.
• In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk and bacon fat. Add to the cornmeal mixture and mix to combine. Stir in crab and bacon and season to taste. Allow to stand for 10 to 15 minutes while oil heats.
• In a Dutch oven or other large pot, add enough oil to come to a depth of 3 inches. Heat over medium-high heat until oil is 350 to 360 degrees.
• Form batter into golf ball-sized balls (if batter is too dry to cohere well, stir in a bit more buttermilk). Drop balls into hot oil 5 or 6 at a time and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. As each batch is finished, place on baking sheet and put into the oven to keep warm. Serve accompanied by plenty of room-temperature butter.
