Hush Puppy Corn Cakes Recipes

BAKED HUSH PUPPIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450. Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt and pepper.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the onion, milk, eggs and butter. Fold the egg mixture into the flour mixture until the flour mixture is just moistened.
• Spoon 1 tablespoon of the batter into each of the prepared mini muffin cups. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the hush puppies are firm to the touch and golden brown around the edges.

MISS BROWN'S HUSHPUPPIES TWO WAYS

Steps:

• For the hushpuppies: Pour enough oil to reach 3 inches up the sides of a Dutch oven. Heat the oil to 375 degrees F.
• Combine the cornmeal, flour, House Seasoning and baking powder in a medium bowl. Pulse the onions in a food processor until finely minced. Add to the cornmeal mixture and stir to combine. Add the egg and enough buttermilk to moisten into a batter. Separate half of the batter to another bowl, then stir the okra into one of the batters. (Make sure the batter isn't too thin. It should hold its shape when scooped out with a spoon.)
• Arrange some paper towels in a baking sheet and place a wire rack on top. Working in batches, drop heaping teaspoonfuls of each batter into the hot oil using a cookie scoop coated with nonstick cooking spray, and cook until golden brown, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes depending on the size (see Cook's Note). Drain the hushpuppies on the wire rack.
• Meanwhile, make the whipped honey butter: Beat the butter and honey in a bowl with a hand mixer at medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Season with salt. Serve with the hushpuppies.
• Stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container.

HUSH PUPPY CORN CAKES

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, oregano, cayenne pepper and black pepper. In a second bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk, scallions, and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, until well blended. Stir the wet ingredients into the cornmeal mixture until just blended. Cover and refrigerate the batter for 1 hour.
• In a large non-stick or cast-iron pan, heat 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium-high until shimmering. Drop rounded tablespoons of batter into the pan, like you would pancakes. Cook until bubbly, then flip over and continue cooking until golden brown.
• Add an additional 1/2 tbsp oil before each batch, allowing to come up to temperature before adding the next round of batter. Continue in this fashion until all the batter is gone.
