DEEP-FRIED SOUTHERN HUSH PUPPIES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a deep fryer or heavy, deep skillet, heat 2 to 3 inches of oil to 370 F.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising cornmeal mix, self-rising flour, and onion. Add milk and egg and mix well.
• Let the batter stand at room temperature for 5 minutes.
• Drop the batter by tablespoons into the hot oil, careful not to overcrowd the pan.
• Fry the hush puppies in small batches until deep golden brown, turning several times to brown evenly. It'll take around 3 batches at 2 to 3 minutes each.
• Drain on paper towels. Serve and enjoy!

HUSH-PUPPY FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix the flour and cornmeal together in a paper sack. Place each piece of chicken in the sack and shake thoroughly to coat completely.
• Mix the salt, pepper and buttermilk together. Place the hush-puppy mix in another paper sack. Dip each piece of chicken in the seasoned buttermilk and then drop it into the hush-puppy mix and shake to coat thoroughly.
• Heat vegetable oil to 350*F, and drop each piece of cooked chicken into it. Fry until a rich golden brown. Place in a flat baking dish and place in a 325* oven for an additional 30 minutes. Serve at once, piping hot.
• NOTE: If you cannot obtain hush-puppy prepared mix in your store, substitute the following: 2 cups white corn meal, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 4 tablespoons butter. Work all together until it is a fine consistency and then use as the breading mixture as specified in the above recipe. Hush-Puppy prepared mix is a timesaving shortcut.
